2.0

The plot is slow and if you don't like a character there can be long stretches of just that character. The characters are all "connected" but in a way that I didn't find compelling. The actual writing was nice and easy to read. There are some ableist moments that suggest it's better to be dead than disabled because you could be a burden.
