It was a lot slower pace than I was expecting, which was why it took me so long, but this was a very good read! The worldbuilding was great and did a good job of conveying messages about our world too. 
There was a lot of mystery and pleanty of plot twists, which could get confusing at times but I mostly enjoyed. You never exactly knew what was the truth until the end. 
I like how the gory  reality wasn't shyed away from, it really helped tell the story effectively and made it more compelling. 
Also the romance was excellent, although it is primarily a story about taking down the patriarchy, the queer romance is a definite bonus I am happy to have!
