Some good twists, world build, and creativity.
This one fell short for me, despite the lovely prose and the fascinating main character. I never felt connected emotionally, and so I lost out on much of what was intended. I also didn't understand the ending (major plot hole? or just me being dense?). This felt more like a novella, and I really wish there'd been more to it - both deeper emotionally and more developed plot-wise.
