It was good, a lot different from the other books and I think the first one is one of my favourite ones ever. This one was more about power, politics and how hierarchy works, and I wonder how Russian dystopies are almost always so good and plausible.... Gluhovskis writing is descriptive and literate bur also cold and stripped down which is really fascinating and rewarding to read. This last part was more challenging to read, but it was still good. I liked the ending - some closure but still things left open
