Overall decent story and interesting world with some interesting characters, but the prose and editing left a LOT to be desired. A lot of missing semicolons (pet peeve I guess) and it felt often that scenes and transitional actions were missing. Also not a whole lot of description in terms of what things look like so it's mostly up to your imagination - could be a stylistic choice and could be considered bad or good but I felt neutral about that. Also, I went in expecting more of a science-fantasy gaspunk aesthetic but it turned out to be more sci-fi post-apocalyptic, which I usually dislike but this time it was alright.
