Took me a bit to get into this book, but pretty soon I couldn't put it down. I had previously read - and loved - Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility, both excellent sci-fi books. The protagonist in this book is Anton, someone who grew up in a family that dealt in a number of shady businesses. Anton aspires to be an honest citizen, but he understands his family's situation and participates. Anton's cousin Aria is the brain behind a number of illegal activities, and she draws Anton in.

The characters and the dialogue are top notch and the tension builds exquisitely.
