This was an excellent novella. It is so short, but the world building is so clear and the writing is so vivid. It is a story of prejudice, identity, violence, and unexpected friendships.

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.

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this at the beginning because of the writing style (1st person POV, through the eyes of a 16 year old) but the book picked up about 20 pages in and I ended up really enjoying it! Good sci fi novella, it was a fast read.
