I found it slightly difficult to follow at first given the way the POV is written. I can say it's worth continuing though, and it created a pretty unique view as a reader, seeing as some things considered 'ancient' to the current story they might be commonplace in current real time. I found that this combined with the degree of information we can glean from the characters was what really caught me to keep reading.
The book also has a diverse set of main characters and it is one of the few books I've read that has multiple transgender characters where it is a large part of their life but thankfully isn't the only defined characteristic.
