I found the concept very interesting, but the prose and execution weren't to my taste. Leda fluctuates between having agency and not almost every chapter, and a lot of the largest plot developments are other characters acting to harm or protect her. The plot happens To Leda, rather than she being a narrative force. Most of the characters were fairly one-dimensional, and any attempts at multifaceted characters were done through dialog.
