Absolutely unapologetically loved everything about this book. It reminded me of the way Ender's Game made me feel when I read it as a kid, but with 2024 sensibilities. I loved the interesting choices of how the author layered the story. The stakes felt very real and I never had any idea where the story was going to go next. I really loved the ending, even though I've seen in other reviews that it's a bit controversial. A+ no notes.
