I don't know how I felt about this book. I liked it at a lot of points and didn't like it at others. I loved the polyamory solution to the love triangles that plague YA novels, and I did find a lot of the characters endearing. It was a very hard feminist push, which I don't hate at all and did make sense for the world, but it was a little repetitive sometimes. Still, I got Zetian's shock of realizing something like that, and I think it aligns well with established 'biological realities' in our world. I would recommend it to a younger audience, but definitely not an older one. Still, it definitely kept my attention, and I will be reading the next one.
