to cite another review:

"… very odd really enjoyed the beginning but went off the rails. But still I would take messy gay sci fi over better heteronormative misogynistic sci fi "

I wasn't doing really good while reading this and the story is quite depressing. There are a lot of good ideas but for me these did not connect. After a strong start the story got more messy by the chapter and the ending seemed kind of unfinished. I had hoped for more world building and deeper character development.

How the seep talked to the people was really cringy for me. Or maybe just not my kind of humor?

Kind of sad cause I was excited about a trans* protagonist without trans being THE problem - which was the case - but the story did not catch me.

It was a good book, I’ll give it that. It made me reflect on my own life, which is always a good thing, in my opinion. I just didn’t care all that much about the characters, other than the boy and he didn’t end up playing that much of a role in the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dystopia and living in the present. I didn’t connect much with the characters, but I didn’t dislike any of them either. It was a good book, just not a great one.

This is a weird one, and I'm not quite sure what to think of it? I think I like it. But I'm not entirely sure I get the whole message. Some of it, sure. About the importance of being able to feel grief and feel unhappy and how those are parts of the human experience that shouldn't be erased, but I also feel like there was more I was supposed to take away from it...

What did I just read? This story had so much going on with a really amazing concept and idea and while I thought the writing to be a little not-so-well paced, i.e. a six year time jump that isn't mentioned until several chapters later, and I found the ending to be a bit lackluster imo, the world in this novel is just astounding. With that in mind, it would be criminal to give this book less than four stars and something I'd recommend to anyone who likes really weird and interesting worlds.
