Uneven voice/tone in both the narration and dialogue is really starting to bother me at this pt

interesting world-building to justify and communicate the themes of the universally transfemme cyborgs. obvious, sometimes heavy-handed allegorical analysis of modern life via spec-fi dystopia lens. a large drawback to me, personally: POV character Dragonfly sometimes uses therapy speak, which fully breaks my immersion. she wouldn’t know how to say what she means!! let her communicate badly!!!

“violence as intimacy” theme. also the first male character appears no sooner than 30% of the way into the novel. a real winner 👍
