I really enjoyed this book. I actually went straight online after finishing it and purchased a paperback version of it as well as the next book in the series.
Can I just say how awesome it is to have an aromantic protagonist? Especially an allo-aro one?
I really loved a lot about this story but the world building was especially brilliant. I love the depth and complexity of the hmun society that Silver has created. The lunar phasal method for determining gender was particularly fascinating to me.
I pretty much immediately warmed up to every single character within moments of meeting them. I really enjoyed the character development and the way that Sohmeng and Hei's relationship develops.
Given the protagonists' ages, I'm assuming that is considered a young adult novel, but I never got that uncomfortable, unrelatable feeling I usually get when I read YA fiction.
I'm was really keen to read the next book so I bought the ebook as well so I could read it while I waited for my hard copy to arrive!
