5.0

I deliberately put off reading this book because I already knew I was going to love it more than life itself, and I wanted to save it until I needed it.

The time is now, and I was right.

The feeling I have right now is LITERALLY the reason I read. I love this book and this whole series, and every single slow scene and weird relationship counseling moment and argument about the meaning of personhood. Station's heroism was great. I would follow Justice of Toren One Esk Nineteen into the mouth of hell. All of it was show stopping, amazing, stupendous, incredible.

You can tell how much fun I had by how incoherent I am right now. Truly an incandescent experience.
