Really enjoyed the premise of the story, it reminded me of Sourdough by Robin Sloan due to the setting! I will say that the writing let me down in some places, it felt like the character was too juvenile and naive at times and that the dialogue felt like it moved too fast while also being very telling. Overall, not a bad read, I finished it in two sittings!
