This is not my kind of book, and it didn’t hold my interest. I should have approached it with a better attitude.

Strong and complex plot with brilliant world building… but I’m so glad that the Villeneuve film adaptation has fixed the the representation of the female characters, away from sexualised / infantilised / misogynistic tropes, creating depth and agency to the individual female plot lines.
