The Just City, Jo Walton

[psocoptera]

I kind of want to write a long essay about Jo Walton's The Just City, but I don't have time, so let me just say for now that I couldn't put it down, it had some amazing moments, it's such an interesting thing to have written after My Real Children, and I have so much respect for Walton for tackling these books about the big (the biggest!) ideas. Maybe once I read the next one, Philosopher Kings, which I plan to do the second I can, I can write a proper thing about them both?

One quick spoilery note - this book is very intense in certain ways, some people might prefer to be warned for:
rape and infant death.
