Was mostly interesting enough to keep me listening.
I'm confused about the race and ethnicity of the people of the common wealth.
It comes off as a white person imitating Asian culture.
And that's backed up because no one is mentioned to be asian. A lot of blue eyed people.
Vague details let's you know the location has Asian roots. But it's like if China was gentrified and colonized.
I'm not Asian but I feel like I'd be pissed if a white person used my culture as a plot device.
This ends on a cliffhanger.
But the description of Scarlett the next book has a different lead.
I liked the intrigue. And rooting for earth.
I'm side eyeing the hints of Kai's bigotry towards Cyborgs.
Romance was about a 2.
The Romance was a subplot.
