Book 2 for Sci fi September. This was so fun!

The characters are fun, as is the world. The pacing seems off, and the story would benefit from more screen time for the psychic cats. As most stories would.

I didn't think the worldbuilding was great - or at least, I had no curiosity about the world. Psychic cats were introduced early on, and then had zero relevance to the plot. Way too many odd similes and metaphors. Using "cycle" as a unit of time was confusing because it wasn't clear until like halfway through if it was a day, a week, or somewhere in between. Way too many fart references.

Overall - fine. Not good enough to recommend to anyone though.
