Written very cinematically where it gives just enough detail to make it easy to imagine what is happening but not so much it feels overly done.
I don't know a lot about the history this is based on but from the author's notes it seems well researched and dealt with some harder topics tactfully.
The story was engaging and had me hooked almost right away.
This is one of my favorite reads so far in 2024.
