Read this on recommendation from a friend - I really appreciated how everything came together. The author is good at tying in loose ends in great ways. I especially loved how the characters had real tension between their duties and each other in realistic ways without monologuing. My only gripe is that it could have leaned more into unreliable narrators, but it would be a different book if it did. Saw the end coming and was still pleased. Highly recommend reviewing content warnings, though.
