I found a lot to like in the book, but the lack of characters to follow really made the read drag for me. Just when you get attached to a character the narrative switches to someone else and doesn't return.
Various characters express casual racism / bias in their narratives. While it is written to fit with the characters, I found the overall result a bit distasteful as words written by a white man, put in the mouths of characters from a variety of places and cultures.
