A review by flerpi
The Mirror Empire by Kameron Hurley

Did not finish book.

The author put more effort into describing the gender roles and social customs of her fantasy world than the actual plot of the book. The book does raise interesting discussion points on gender, but the balance between worldbuilding, lesson-telling, and plot is so off that I couldn't finish it Also, the character Lilia is so gratingly stupid that she actually manages to kill someone with her idiocy.
