Very interesting premise! I highly enjoyed the world-building, but I also felt the overall story could have been stronger. The pacing in particular was a weakness for me, as the story felt like it both rushed and dragged in turns. Several times I felt I had missed a scene (or several) that really ought to have been at a certain point in the narrative. I really did enjoy this book, though. Again, the world-building was quite delightful!
