This book reminded me of The Left Hand of Darkness, but hopeful where Left Hand was melancholy. It accomplished what it attempted very well. There were some slightly weird bioessentialist implications of the worldbuilding, but that wasn't really the point of the book so it didn't bother me too much. Would definitely reread.
