My library loan ran out at about 70% and I'm okay with it. I was struggling to keep going. The whole terraforming using modified “normal” systems was kinda neat, but all the characters and events felt flat and kinda boring.

I'm still getting used to authors using they as a singular in writing (I'm fine in casual convo but writing throws me off), but the inconsistentness of having characters sometimes share their pronouns and sometimes not was a little jarring.

As I said, just flat, there were so many characters even before the first time jump that I really didn't get invested in any, and nobody really got developed.

I'm sure it's a great story but I recommend passing.
