The concept is extremely cool, and I would try out other books by this author! This was definitely a great YA book. There were places where I wanted to see more and places that felt bare to me, but I think that’s more a consequence of my having grown up beyond the age of the book’s target demographic. 

I found myself wishing this book was a little longer and a little more slowly paced so I could explore the world more (and maybe get a  better feel for any characters so they would feel more three-dimensional and real). The queer rep was pretty cool, and I appreciated the author’s use of gender-inclusive language throughout.
