This is a great book, but it was a difficult book for me, personally. It was much darker in tone than the first book to really drive home the horrors of war and colonialism. I appreciated the inclusion- in addition to the queer and nonbinary characters of the first book, we had more trans characters, physically disabled characters, and asexual characters. The darker tone made this a slower, more difficult read for me.
