It was challenging orienting myself in the timelines for the first hundred or so pages, but once I was able to settle into the plot lines, I was able to dive right in. The narrative unfolds into a fantastic critique of patriarchal capitalism and politics as we know it. I thoroughly enjoyed.

Holy fucking shit. This was slow going at first but my god it’s worth it, I swear it’s worth sticking it out. The last 100 pages leave you confused, crushed, elated, and slowly pulling the pieces together before finally understanding. Incredibly well done. Only dinged .5 stars because the first 150 pages have the potential of losing you for being so lore heavy, but then again it’s sci fi.
