A delightful world with a delightful main character, but the villain left much to be desired. I found myself wishing for things to be tweaked slightly with a regularity, but I always really appreciated how real Lou felt as a character. She wasn't perfect and she didn't always make the right decisions, but she made the best decisions she could given the information she had. I was also delighted with the amount of representation throughout the book, both racially and LGBT+. Though it could be a little indelicate about it, it wasn't something I regularly get from my books.
I've heard there is a possible sequel, though I'm not sure when or if that's still coming out. Should it do so, I would look forward to reading it.
