DNF at 37%. Hei was interesting, but not much else was. Sohmeng was an annoying protagonist (I don’t care to stick around for her growth, if there is any), there’s very little worldbuilding—you get more explanations on different places and terms in the 2-sentence glossary definitions than the story, and I just thought the story was bland. I was thinking of sticking it out(I never DNF books, no matter the quality), but when I realized I dreaded coming back to this book in-between my other reads, I called it quits so I wouldn’t waste any more time.

A shame, because I really enjoyed “Pluralities”, a book by the same author.
