The story has a large, colourful cast of characters, with universal themes at play, all set in an interesting world. There's little fluff which lets you jump straight into the story. It's also well written.If I'm being critical, there are dry exposition dumps that could be integrated more organically into the story through dialogue and descriptions. There was no need to give a date and tell us about the state of the moon as if it were a fact. A character could check a calendar or the time. A bunch of characters could simply be staring outside and have said outside described. My point is that there are better ways to communicate ideas that aren't straight up exposition dumps.
