I liked this but didn't LOVE it, as much as I wanted to. There were times it was a little too on the nose or even verging into cringe. I did love that there was open exploration of ongoing trauma, disagreements, and innovation both big and small, and it made me tear up a couple of times when characters remarked how horrid life was or must have been pre-revolution. A worthy entry into the hopepunk canon even if not perfect.
