2,5/5. Highly mixed feeling about this one. The 100 first pages are really good. A dystopia world, a story that make me think of The Handmaid's Tale from Margaret Atwood, and which have the potential to be maybe not has strong but close. Then the last 200 pages happen... everything that work so well in the beginning is left behind. The characters barely evolve, all the originality in the universe and story are abandoned and we find ourself in a cheap thriller/political/science-fiction story and we see everything coming for more then 10 000 miles away. It just gave me the impression that the author had a very solid idea, but no story to keep it on track, and so they had a love triangle here, family matters there, and so on... The writing was not that great, and is not a weak point but not a strong one either. Also, the author being highly skill/educated in linguistic, and myself loving linguistic so much, I would have love to have more, deeper, linguistic reflexion/story elements/or basically anything related to the subject, because there isn't much. In conclusion, I had high expectation for this one, and was very optimistic in the beginning but this book felt short and was very disappointing in the end. Not recommending it!
