Slow to start, but quick to grab onto your heart. The world-building is a bit daunting to get through, which are the first handful of chapters: you're questioning who is who, where is anything and above all: what's the conflict, but once you get to the answers, the story expands and flourishes. At one point I couldn't stop – the book is not what I expected in all of the best ways. Qaanaaq is the kind of city I won't be able to forget, even if the characters fade into memory.
DNF at 25%.
This author's anger at non-millennial's seeps through a little too much. It's off-putting and out of takes me out of the story.

Dystopian literature is hit or miss with me. Slow start with good world-building, and yet the ending went by almost too quickly.
I'm not going review the plot here, because I am not sure I can do it justice. The book is dark and gritty with interesting characters some with familiars (who wouldn't like polar bears and Killer whales as familiars).
I found one confusing issue. One of the characters is gender-fluid, and they used the word "they" as the pronoun, which I quickly adapted. The problem was when the word was used traditionally, I had stop and think, which POV am I reading right now? It stopped the reading flow.

yeah this is too complex of writing to listen to while doing other tasks.
