I thought it was poorly written and the idea wasn't strong enough for me to slog through. Made me sad.

Fabulous world-building and an appealing protagonist we can't help but root for. The sheer density of the story is a little off-putting-- would have gone for five stars with a little streamlining.

Holy DNF…. What the heck. More names and acronyms than in my molecular biology textbook. I read for punishment as long as I could and then when it never got better I decided to stop suffering.
