This was just too opaque for me. I’m not a regular sci-fi reader, and there was so little context that I found the constant setting changes disorienting and couldn’t mentally fill in all the gaps.

The twists were fun, but I was struggling so hard with the general plot that they didn’t hit that hard for me.

And the language was so laden with imagery that I couldn’t really appreciate it—I was too busy trying to piece together what was going on.
