This book definitely exceeded my expectations. The plot was a bit lackluster, but the characters were very endearing to me.
Even so, I feel that there are some ideas implicit in the worldbuilding of this book that the author could have explored more. For example, what does it mean to be unrated, exactly? Does that mean you lost all your points or somehow never got onto the rating system? When someone rates someone else, how is their rating weighted? How do they account for bullying, bigotry, general pettiness? Or do they? I'm sure there's a whole etiquette around giving the ratings, but they aren't really discussed.
