This book never landed with me. Very little happened across the short page count, I never felt interested in the characters, never cared about the mystery. It gestures at things that never pay off, including core concepts and themes. The marketing is also very bad - if I'm expected to read this as a race-involved slavery metaphor, it's an absolutely awful one.
