While I love the world and theoretically everything that happens in this book, I kind of struggled with getting invested, and I'm not really sure why.

There are some harmful and outdated jokes, particularly towards Indigenous people, in this text and the sequel. However, is never anything relevant for more than about two pages. There are also a handful of “man in a dress” jokes. One of the main characters is extremely unaware about his own wealth, which is played as a joke and not really expanded upon. There is also a fire as a main subplot.
