mm. i was disappointed. at first, it felt like it had the potential to be like "the imperial radch", but with more of a sino-futurist approach. I had also hoped for more with it being given a rec as hopepunk. I just couldn't get into the characters and didn't feel hopeful at all. I think it would be good for fans of "Murderbot" if you're willing to see the book through to its sequels.
