this took me forever to get through but that says nothing about how excellent it is!!!! this universe is so interesting, i love speculative fiction and this is a take that’s new to me…. lucas x juliette forever .. i will be reading the sequel ASAP!!! 

- normalized human composting 
- successful circular economy 
- anticapitalist riots
- secret taboo relationships

Rereading this and loving it just as much as the first time. It brings forth all the emotions in a world that at first seems different from our own but ends up with many parallels both inspiring and haunting. Well written and immersive. 

The ending might be a little pat, but the journey to get there is so deftly traveled that I honestly don't know that it matters how the story ends.
