bug_lightyear's review against another edition
4.0
Second read in 21.5h at 0.6 speed (feeling too fast)
Interesting/weird background space noises, loud enough to cover background noise on noise cancelling headphones but discreet enough to be barely audible on loudspeaker.
Mildly horrifying but interesting thoughts about genetics and magic but in a Sci fi setting. One character sounds like he might be trans or intersex because he lacks a Y chromosome but it's also never said explicitly why.

Major pieces of backstory and world-building are conveyed in a series of well-described but pretty dense infodumps, one at the very start and a few more sprinkled throughout the rest of the text. They felt a bit clunky but were sufficiently brief as to keep from being overwhelming. The overall effect works well and I love the main characters.

From the book: “This book contains a scene of medical violence. Characters also obsess about food and count calories.”imds's review against another edition

Women are forced into pregnancy in this, and there are a lot of instances of counting calories.victorianrogue's review against another edition
