There’s this interesting thing happening where Wyatt seems disdainful of pregnant people. It makes sense that he doesn’t want that himself, but the pregnant women in the story are not fleshed out, basically objects. Hard to tell of this is a writing problem or a flaw of Wyatt’s - he feels dehumanized by the idea of pregnancy and dehumanizes others for it.

Chapter 2 flashback exposition dump is a bit clunky. I wish the world-building was a bit smoother. The first chapter was also a lot of description and exposition packed between very little action that takes place over like 5 minutes. It takes 5 pages to resolve the stabbing that happens in the first sentence.
I’m excited for this book but this is not my favorite prose so far.
