While the idea behind the story is really interesting and had a lot of potential, I felt like the pacing was of. And the writing made the book dry and hard to read. I had to push myself to finish it. I couldn't connect to the story and noticed that early on. The only remotely likeable character was Jerrow. However I think you're not supposed to like the characters. The best part was having an asexual character.
I can see thatn some people would really like this book and the writing style, though I am not one of them. Will not reread this at any point in time.
