I really liked the first 2/3s of the book but the conclusion tainted the whole escalation of the 3rd part for me. A lot of charaters progressed a lot, only to return to the starting point in a sense. I felt really inspired by the worldbuilding and the storytelling and the attention to a lot of struggles of the world and the characters so it was especcially disappointing.  After the first third I researched the Autor because of possible new books to read, only to discover their compliance in the Nazi-Regime back then. I was suprised that i didnt stumble upon any thoughts that could lead in that direction, but the conclusion felt like it, so take my review with a grain of salt.
