I was really happy to learn after I finished this that it's going to be a trilogy, but I probably should have been able to figure that out by the title!
The Genesis of Misery reads as an epic mystic sci-fi. Even at the start of the book you can tell that the story will be a large affair. It is all driven by the destiny of the main character, Misery, and is constantly moving forward. Yang also uses what I would call an advanced set of pronouns for each character, which is very inclusive and I'm hopeful to see this trend continue in future books.
The biggest drawback of the book is I feel it doesn't explain the antagonists too well, I felt that could be fleshed out more. There are also a couple other things I would have liked fleshed out more but won't go into since it would include spoilers.
