I didn't feel like MCs were proactive or in control at all. Things just kinda happen to them. When they do make decisions it feels like its on whim, unexpected even after hundreds of pages with them.
Danger to them is often imagined and rarely made real. When it is real it comes out of nowhere (and not in a good "life is unexpected" kind of way).
Tech is not interesting except for imago. I guess I like pretty far-out SciFi, this didn't deliver there. Imago is good though.
There is lots of gayness in this book (which is a pro in my opinion), but doesn't show its hand in force until near the end.
Does its worldbuilding in asides mostly, not in dialogue or through actions. I did not like this.
Much too slow until end. For a world obsessed with poetry and stories, its own story is very unsatisfying, very uncoordinated.
