I did not love it, but I also did not hate it. I know a lot of people are DNFing this book, but I liked it enough to finish reading. That said, it took me forever. The world building, albeit interesting, is very complicated, so much so that even the FMC doesn’t really know what’s going on. Not much happened in the first 1/3, it slowly picked up in the middle, with most of the action in the last 1/3. This is probably something I would reread now that I have an idea of what is going on.
