I loved this book SO MUCH. Usually a book with this much political intrigue wouldn't be my jam. But this book had EVERYTHING. A robust developed world, language, culture, mystery, brain implants that have people sharing bodies, reflections on consciousness and identity, inheritance, poetry, and oh yeah some political intrigue. I will take a break before devouring the sequel but at the same time can't wait to dive in.
