this felt like a very long exposition, but it was interesting nonetheless. please, if you feel like it persist through the very long beginning.
i am very intrigued at the fiture potrayal of asters and the systemic exploitation but dont expect much, honestly ; the asters are the basis of the motivations of ¾ of the main characters yet none are really developped in depths. though i guess it is interesting showing the side of privileged people realizing their priviledge, the story isnt new in any shape or form. I'll keep on following, at least for the second book, but am prepared to be disappointed on that front.
the storytelling is good though, and the universe interesting (i hope there will be a bit of development regarding why no americans have survived btw), and i like the aspect of being able to piece everything together from the omniscient pov before the characters themselves, thiugh it's a bit too obvious sometimes.
overall, a good time once youre into it, but not groundbreaking by any means
