I very much enjoyed this book! Probably my favorite thing about it was the beautiful world-building - the descriptions were lovely and genuinely brought the story to life before my eyes!

The representation here for people of color is also very well-done. There was no one skin color that was better or worse than another and the people in this world changed their looks like they change their clothes - it was very interesting and a great commentary on social beauty standards and constructs.

The pacing in the plot was also great - there was a level of intrigue and it was subtle, which I always appreciate; versus an author talking down to us as readers and feeling the need to remind us every two pages that we should be curious about something! Ms Clayton made me naturally curious with her writing style and plot and it spoke for itself.
