Really provocative portrayal of a tragic hero story. The world building is detailed and interesting.  The last chapter was a work of genius.

This book has a lot of casual sexism but aside from that, the writing style was gripping, the plot points interesting, the plot progression heartbreaking, and it was a real page-turner.
