The idea behind this novel is just astounding. The novel just rips along and pulled me with it. but - I had a lot of reservations with it, one of which is that it is very cis gendered, and it actually felt dated.
and the ending, the back and forth between ?academics? it just made me laugh as it was so clumsily done.
