I really like this story. I'm not a huge fan of various POVs, but it really did work for the storytelling. It is a story of discovery and rebellion that doesn't take itself too seriously.
To me, the narrative is an oberservational view of what powe can do. How power can corrupt and how if wielded by those with ill intentions, it can be used to to oppress, limit access, and create a history that is believed by the masses.
