This wasn’t really for me and to be honest I found myself confused with all that was going on. The commentary on society and the political establishment was worthwhile and could have been both interesting and thought provoking on its own. However the whole business of Lan looking out for her family from the afterworld with the crows, salmon and lions ruined the narrative for me. I’m not ever sure she actually helped anyone. 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
