This was really good! Such a unique concept told very well. The beginning was a bit slow because there is some world-building that needs to take place, but it had my attention from the first page. Lots of commentary on immortality, compassion, and humanity. The ending, though different than I thought, was pitch perfect and I can’t wait to read the second one.
