I enjoyed this book from the middle onward. The hook isn't particularly strong for me, but it was very enjoyable past that. I loved the world building and anticapitalist message. A lot of it felt more fantasy than sci-fi, but there was definitely enough sci-fi in it for the average sci-fi reader. The journey was very interesting. And the pinch points felt very real for the characters.
