There are some fascinating ideas in this book, and it's commendable for Hopkinson to take on some serious ideas that aren't often looked at through these lenses in fiction, but I had to push myself to finish the book–it's good, but it's a tough read from an emotional point of view, and I need writing that engages me more when there are so many damaging things happening to the characters. I suspect I'll read this book again some day and enjoy it more, but right now it felt like more work than I wanted it to be.
