“Every oppressor, through their denial of humanity, sows the seeds of their own destruction”

I waited so long and was so excited for this book. Iron Widow was so good and I don’t know if this one was the same. The plot was much more political and I kept drawing parallels with some of the things happening in society today. That said, I’ll definitely be picking up the third one in the series when it’s released.
