Quite an interesting read, while not one I felt passionate about. The world built was very intriguing, with those very different human cities that are just hanging on a thread, barely surviving. I liked the two main characters, and felt for both.
Despite the story bringing us to very different places of this world, the pace felt slow and I wasn't always sure what was the plot about. Overall, it felt like a distopian slice of life, which isn't a critics in itself: not something that I expected, but something that I still enjoyed.
