I enjoyed reading this, and am looking forward to reading part two.
If I'm honest, I usually would back away quite quickly if a book started with an explanation of terms en society, cause my brian isn't always up for (what seems like) a lot of work and remembering, but I trusted the author of this one, so I went and read it anyway, and it was all ok :P The terms around gender and society all felt quite natural and I was used to them very quickly. The terms around time took a little longer, mostly cause I kept wanting to translate them to 'our' term :P
I did really enjoy how the society in this book worked with gender, how they introduced themselves and how that informed other of their gender and preferred pronouns!
