Because I hadn't seen any reviews of this book, I had no idea what to expect. It's ... good in some ways, though a little frustrating in others. The characters (most of them, at least) were interesting and drew me in, and the starkness of the setting was very apropos. But there's a bit of a "mystery" that's hinted at throughout and it didn't give much of a payoff. The ending was a little tidy and predictable. But there's some good here too 3/5 ⭐️
