***STARRED REVIEW***

"Rich in worldbuilding, wordplay, and a deep sense of humanity, Hardinge's latest...explores complex themes, including the incredible fragility of trust, the weight of individual sacrifices for the greater good, and questions of who should be entrusted with power...Layered and lush; an expertly woven tapestry.
