---

The first 30% was really good, had a lot of potential, and was very interesting. After that, the most boring parts dragged on forever and the parts that would have been exciting or interesting were skipped right past. I wanted to DNF so bad but it kept teasing a plot that never really came. Really cool and interesting gender representation. That’s about it though. Disappointing because it could have been sooooo good. :(
