This one was a slow and challenging start for me. The complexity of an AI inhabiting multiple bodies with multiple perspectives at once. The main character's culture only uses she/her pronouns regardless of a beings sex. I wasn't sure how to picture a number of the characters in the book, including the main character. 

What resonated with me in this book is how it portrays the challenges and pressures we face with cultural norms. The way we accept or rebel against them and what motivates us. Sometimes known, sometimes not. Half way through I thought I would not likely read another in the series. Now I'm hooked.
