full_of_flowers's review against another edition

I was hoping for something more high-concept, but the focus seems to be more on the characters' relationships, which I didn't find very compelling. I always get annoyed when an interesting and unusual setting is introduced, but the focus remains on the banal. Also features a lot of 50 Shades of Grey vibes, which I found boring, irrelevant, and generally oppressive.
