I feel like I've been stabbed. 
 I mean... shit. I thought I saw what was coming, but I didn't. Not at all. 
 On the book itself: the worldbuilding was incredibly vast and complex. It may take some rereads and note-taking before I understand it all. 
 But... goddamn. 
 [Edit:] More detailed review to come. I have taken a long time to meditate on this book and I really don't like it as much as I thought I did.
