I am really not enjoying the Ife/Maximus relationship. Also she says his name all the time and he literally NEVER says hers.

At this point I would maybe give a 3.5 rating. While the main theme and purpose of the novel is handled fairly well from my view, I’ve been struggling with understanding character motivations and actions. I feel some characterizations aren’t consistent, and despite being in first person POV I don’t feel like I’m really getting to dig into any character to understand why they’re making certain choices.

Holy SHIT

I am zipping through this book. I don't *love* Coa, and I perfer Ife's chapters because she's got more interesting stuff going on (I think I just like the politics aspects better)
Hazen Creed is still not a character??? It's weird, I thought he'd show up way more than he has
Max is...weirdly my favorite male character, he's very complex and I like that
