HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

- That was one of the most !!!! endings to a book I've read in a long time
- If u like the sound of a morally ambiguous lesbian WoC protagonist this is the book 4 u
- Reaaaaally interesting and dynamic world building; I would've liked some things explained in more detail bc I found myself confused sometimes but that could've also been due to the really sporadic reading sessions I did with this book
- Lots of social commentary abt sexuality, gender expression, sexism, racism (ex: those WHITE porcelain masks of the Masquerade LMAO)
- A little too much specific finance/politics/battle talk for me which is really the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars–that's just my personal tastes but otherwise THIS BOOK WAS BOMB
