Amazing concept, and really well fleshed out and thought through. Loved the characters and writing as well, genuinely enjoyable to read. The only downsides were that sometimes things came off as a bit cliche or stereotypical, even if they weren't too bad and still well researched, but I can't really see the concept working without those cliches.
