Some deaths that bring home the Romeo/Juliet parallel and then a quote that cements it.

Interesting that there's a space catholic church. I rarely see religion in any SF (although there are some notable exceptions), and even less a religion from our present vs something that evolved out in space or from an alient species.

Past 2/3 and still unsure where these characters are going, narrative-wise

Not sure what the overall plot is going to be. Maybe it's not revealed since this appears to be part of a series. I guess we'll see.

Variations on a theme - like Red Rising, except knowledge imbalance is different.

So far it's reading like Romeo and Juliet, but with a power imbalance. We'll see where it goes from here.

A tale at least as old as Fritz Lang's Metropolis - the rich folks get the sun/sky and the others live below ground (or at least without access to sun/sky)
