The pacing of the book was slow, but it was enjoyable. I felt like I was on a tour - observing and slowly learning about the dire state humanity has found itself in, and how they got there. I loved the detailled world building, and the characters were fun to learn about too - even if they were a minor character, I felt like each one left an impact.
The translation was well-done too. I've read some official translations that were difficult to read, but this book didn't feel awkward and any references were translated well.
