well, i did write down most of my thoughts about the book in the last chapter which was the epilogue but to quickly summarise, READ IT.

read this if you want to read a fantasy novel that is layered with descriptions so rich and vivid you’ll be immersed right from chapter one, if you want to see how humanity trumps all in a high-stakes, action-packed situation that is still grounded so much in our present-day reality by the interweaving of faulty governance and world leaders and algorithmic dominance, and if you want to lose yourself in a tech/magic-driven world with characters you will end up caring about towards the end (and will want to know more about).
