Things I loved about it:
- World building
- Character development
- Queerness as an unremarkable aspect of the world
- Excellent pacing
- Complete commitment to the geology theme
- Such a good plot twist near the end
- Loose writing style that easily enveloped very difficult themes and humor

Very good writing, complex and engrossing parallel plot lines, unique characters, interesting politics and world-building. I'll reserve judgment otherwise until I've read the rest of the series.
