Oh my...I'm too stunned to establish a coherent review. This is a marvelous, intelligent, innovative, and entertaining debut novel, with fantastic characters, excellent dialogues, and rich yet vivid worldbuilding! One of the best show-don't-tell SFF works out there. I would be devastated if this does not win the Hugo!

Actual rating: 3.5 stars. Thoughts to come.
Interesting but I needed more characterization. The hand-wavy science never really gelled so all the time throwing buzzwords around was lost on me, and I could have used more insight into why I was cheering for the viewpoint characters.
