Assigned for a Latin X speculative fiction seminar, along with its sequel. Generative, that’s for sure.

I was assigned to read this book for one of my college classes. This is not the type of book I read so I had difficulty getting into the story. I also had a very hard time keeping up with the switching narratives. The first 20 pages were especially difficult because I did not have a grasp on the different characters and how they all went together. While I would not read this book again it actually wasn't a bad read. The story was interesting once you understood what is going on. For someone who wants a dystopian story with lots of history behind the story this is the book for you.

Confuso, plagadito de info-damp, muchisimos errores de maquetacion que complican las lecturas y con un potencial enorme que acaba siendo un poco petardo. Remonta en algunos pasajes, pero en general, malillo.
