I would actually give this about 3.5 stars. I really appreciate the world building in this book and it was really fun to read and learn about all of the characters- but it did get kind of repetitive at some points and the middle of the book dragged alot. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes reading about music!

It really did not meet my expectations- I feel like it went out of its way to be ~edgy~ at some points that made it a bit cringey. It was not by any means bad- definitely a good option for a light, quick summer read, but If you are looking for something to keep you on the edge of your seat like I was- this is not it.

I was supposed to read this for a class but stopped Midway through because I felt like it's idea of blind American superiority bled into the book far more than it should have and actually hindered from my learning. Also Marshall really does not tie in the whole "prisoners of geography" idea in much past the first chapter. Overall not worth my time.
