the main character's wife gets fridged to advance his personal character development. Any story that utilizes such a tired and lazy trope has nothing interesting to offer in my opinion.

Recycled ideas: hierarchical oppression, revolution, infiltration, proving ground. Reasonably done, but takes time to build up a good head of steam.

This was breathtakingly good. I wish I'd stopped to note interesting bits, but I was so wrapped up and enjoying myself that I just ... didn't. Certainly with eyes on a big screen adaptation in the future, this is a hugely successful novel with damned good reason.
