- It's written in first-person multiple POV which, if I'm not immediately drawn in to by the character's voice, I tend to find quite distracting.
- Stuck with it anyway and got about halfway through when I realised I still wasn't particularly invested in any of the characters
- Too many rape threats and sexism sprinkled into casual conversation made this intensely uncomfortable to read
- Not a fan of how little agency the women in this have, at least from the 51% I've read. I'm hoping it gets better, but I'm not willing to stick around to see if it does
- I found the world-building and plot flimsy at best. The stakes and consequences seem to all be a product of the characters decisions, and not the setting. And since I don't find the characters engaging, it didn't make sense for me to continue 🤷🏽♀️
