One has tremendous precognition powers, used in service to the regime, while the other ends up joining a rebel group called The Machinists.
This is the first of a new series with tremendous world-building and an interesting plot. The story is threaded with psychic powers, magic, mythic monsters, and steampunk-style technology, a high-wire balance of high fantasy and science fiction. The cultural world-building has an Asian-fused backdrop and gender-fluid relationships.
Yang has written an intricate opening salvo to what I think will be a strong series.
I got this one for my beloved Kindle and read it quickly.
