I really wanted to like this, because all the themes are right up my alley, but the chaotic pacing and sheer lack of depth of descriptions of the setting and the world made it feel liminal and transient in a bad way. Compelling concepts, but felt overall under-developed for my taste. It felt more like reading an extremely long summary of events than an actual narrative.
