This was so weird, but in a great way. I love books where the plot is not exactly laid out to you, and so you get to put the pieces together yourself, while also not being too ambiguous. That's what this book felt like to me.

Like someone else already mentioned, this does place an unnecessary importance to Isserly's boobs, but that was probably the only thing I can say I didn't like about this book.

There are so many themes of rape, sexism, elitism, big business, farming, and what it means to be human. They're all discussed in very subtle ways.

I found the writing style to be quite beautiful too. 
Overall I had a great experience reading this book, and it makes me want to read more sci-fi.
