“Breathlessly alternating chapters…Never faltering in her fast pace and nuanced characterization, Belleza weaves together many complex layers…Racism, roundups, and imprisonments; the roles of media and propaganda; revenge, guilt, grief, and obligation; and disturbing moral questions about privacy and technology…This is a multiplanet, multiculture, multitech world and a timely tale. An exceptionally satisfying series opener.”
