I don’t really know what to think about this book. Hard to get into for quite a long time because of how downright unlikeable Kyr was lol but something kept my interest so I pushed through. I have absolutely no idea what anything looked like - as in, I literally couldn’t imagine anything as I was reading because I just found the descriptions and settings so lacking in important information. Maybe it’s just my inability to visually imagine stuff. I also, idk, hated the end?? Or felt unfulfilled?

And after further pondering, I just didn’t think the queer representation was done well. It was clumsy and it was superficial. Love Mags but what is this poor boy doing falling for someone like that? Built like a tank and dumber than a bag of rocks, it seems. It was unnecessary - I thought, anyway. I also feel like the twist about Kyr was thrown in there; maybe after an editor’s comment or suggestion because ??¿¿ I stan not.

2,000 people on board, not one Trans person??

Despite all that, I did read this in practically one go because I did like the world building and how fleshed out the characters were. There was some mentions of -isms that could have been better explored or even just like, actually spoken about by the people suffering from them but I guess at least they were mentioned lolol.
