I don't think this story quite came together for me. I appreciated the layers and world building but the twist was a little confusingly laid out in my opinion. I'm also generally not a fan of books where the author hides information from the reader so that the climax is more likely to surprise. Great authors, in my opinion, lay everything out but put it together in unexpected ways to create surprises.

Interesting idea overall, though, and at novella length, certainly not bad to give it a try.
