I didn't know anything starting this book, and honestly, that's a good thing. This is a good story. Maybe I was expecting more action, but it would have been too much. So yeah, a good surprise. Sometimes I felt a bit lost, but I think it's more because I was reading it when I needed to sleep than because of the book

it clearly was trying to do something it really didn’t succeed at. suffers from being a novella for sure. and the prose is a bit bland for my tastes, though the story ideas are interesting. i might read on but not right now.
