So far I feel a bit odd about this book.
Coming from Murderbot I expected to love it, b/c Martha Wells, duh.
But, I dunno. The naming system is confusing, half the time I am confused who is who and what is what and where is where.
The prose, pacing, etc is really not comparable to MB, by length. Conversations feel stilted, the characters shallow. I am not sure if she has a different editor for this book?
