The lore regarding the societies and how they work was presented a little confusingly in the first few chapters, but it's rather interesting worldbuilding; I thought the finale was too packed with twists, though. Could've used a little better pacing in that regard.

The characters are likeable and I enjoyed Alex's narration, though she stinks a liiiiittle bit of stereotypical strong female character sometimes.
