Okay, I did FF through the first para, and once the story picks up, cringe prose drops. Also - turns out - a key problem is the narrator is decidedly mid.

Summary: Ch. 2-25 = fun romp. I would have said, Ken Liu struggles with basic prose, but does action moderately well. From about the 50% there's a dramatic bottoming out. In the post half-way mark, I'd say YIKES, did he ask his chat-bot to insert a What If This Were A Bond Movie filter.

One wonders how old Ken Liu thinks someone has be to to stop getting labeled a "girl" and start being a "woman." Or really anything else besides a "girl."

Oh no. Did a Harvard undergrad write this with Chat-GPT for their creative writing class. Main character who devotes paragraphs and paragraphs to THE JOY OF RUNNING 😳
