- GudyRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0The start of this story felt a bit off to me initially - going slower than I would have liked, in a setting that felt too fanasy-like for the dystopian S/F it was proclaimed to be. But once the setting and story became clearer, it kept me going until I'd read through the whole thing in a day.
Yes, it's S/F, it's dystopian, and it's a gem in the rough. It's not quite polished enough I would call it brilliant, but it certainly has its store of interesting and thought-provoking ideas, both about technology and humanity, and a well fleshed-out cast of characters to bounce those ideas off of and put into impossible situations they'd have to think their way out of. And all that is, when all is said and done, what any good S/F story should be about, as far as I am concerned.
I didn't notice any major technical problems - grammar and spelling were all well above average. The style was maybe slightly on the bland side, but I'll take a competent writer with interesting ideas who makes me think over a chaotically brilliant wordsmith incapable of forging a coherent narrative any day.
