An interesting take on a genre I'm not usually a fan of but it still worked.
- The pace feels like a mix of fast paced for somethings but much much slower for others. This felt a little off to me, especially since this is a planned trilogy of some significant length.
- The world is described as similar to ours, there are social differences (they are a lot more accepting) and technological ones, and even though the author made some efforts in explaining a bit of this I could tell this was not her forte. That was joined with some other attempts of scientific and other more scholarly subjects that were kind of a miss for me. Still it did not detract too much from my immersion into the story.
- Conflict wise, this didn't really present us with a main one exactly. We start with her situation being the problem and her memory staying an issue the whole book, but during the majority of it the relationships are the main thing. Not just the differences but the acceptance of new dynamics. This makes one character the main antagonist for this issue and I felt it had reason once we get some backstory to explain but since we don't have it right from the start it felt abrupt. After that was mostly solved we're just waiting for the foreshadowing to become the next big thing.
- When it comes to characters, they all felt distinctive but we do spend a lot more time with the FMC and only 2 of the MMC's. This looks like it will change in the next books, and it did help to build these relationships a lot so that was nice, I just found the others to also be interesting and wanted more time with them.
- Some of the dialog was weirdly written for me, like the changes in subject were sudden and didn't have pauses in between, that I felt were missing. This did take a bit to get used to even if it was for the faster pacing to work. Also some of the physics in intimate scenes were not fully making sense.
The ending was surprising and very much worked as a pull to keep reading the series. I'mma go and start the next one right away ;)
