I have to conclude that this book is too clever by half for me and frankly, feels like too much hard work. I don't expect to be spoon-fed, but by half-way through, I expected to understand a bit more about the background, hierarchies, cultural norms etc, but constantly felt as if I had either missed something (lots of things!) or had started the series part way through. I frequently had no idea what was going on. I understand books two and three are slower still.Ģ. However, for me, this book has two major issues.ġ. I liked the premise, didn't struggle with the use of the pronoun 'she' for all genders, and got used to the narrative switching back and forth between past and present. This is a difficult book to review, but I will try to keep this brief as there are plenty of more detailed reviews.
