Interesting concept but the whole thing draaaagged. Incredibly repetitive with terrible pacing. Maybe better as a novella? This was part of my yearly challenge first foray into sci fi and wasn't impressed. Did dig the disability representation though which is what edges it up a bit.

Got over 50% in but just wasn’t feeling it, I liked the concepts but the story didn’t grip me.
