Bought it due to your recommendation. Will start after I finished The Will to Battle by Ada Palmer
I’m immediately re-reading them and they’re just as good - if not better - the second time.
Quickly became my favorite books of all time, which you’ll have to trust me is saying something.
The first two also really read like an anime, including a cotton candy sweet beginning.
It's the best kind of science fiction, "society fiction" in SciFi clothes that tries to stay in the realm of plausibility and logic.
They are terribly underrated.
