tregina's review against another edition

3.0

In short, I liked the ideas behind this, I loved the way gender was handled and the use of the feminine as default feels very welcoming to me. The exploration of identity and what it means to be a person, what it means to be a human, is maybe the best thing about it. But I felt like the actual plot felt short of how much I really liked those aspects of the universe, and the entry point to the novel feel a little bit unnecessarily difficult; there was no reward to the gradual reveal of the basic functioning of this world relative to the frustration of knowing you were working without all the information.

A great kick off to the series- bags of potential and sweep. Lots of things under the surface.

A handful of moments I didn't believe within the context of the world's that have been created, but ultimately an enjoyable ride.
