Overall, this book just wasn't for me, but I hope it DOES work for you! It was just a lot of words that didn't go together in a cohesive way. A lot of the phrases felt like they were from 2021 Twitter, which was also weird and pulled me out of the story even more. I did not know which characters were being addressed at certain times, and it felt like an overload. The neo-pronouns also were INCREDIBLY confusing when talking in the third person. So if you DO like those things, then this may be the book for you! To be frank, I don't think I fully understood what was going on the entire time because my brain could not fully comprehend every word on the page. I am not someone who likes prose or long-winded ways of trying to say what can be condensed into a few words. I did not realize how flowery the language of this book would be. I'm a sucker for a good sci-fi novel, especially one with an amazing female protagonist (which I assumed solely off the cover once I found out we were getting nonbinary representation, I was over the moon!). I did not request this book I was sent an ARC by the publisher just based on previous titles I had read, and the cover drew me in immediately. However, I do not think I am the target audience for this novel.
