I should have immediately written this review because now that I've completed this trilogy, I'm finding it hard to look at this read favorably. I did like this book initially. It produced an average level of reading enjoyment. However, I didn't like the trilogy as a whole. Unsurprisingly, that taint of hate oozes back and colors the whole story with shit. Endings matter to me, and this story doesn't go anywhere good. I personally prefer science fiction stories that have a plan and actually explore their themes. This felt like it belonged more in the romantasy space. For people who are into role reversal and can easily overlook plot holes.
