The writing? Beautiful. The world building? Beautiful.
I just couldn't ... get into it. I don't know what it was. The 2nd person narrative or the fact the 2nd-person-pov protagonist got less page time than every other pov character or just that I couldn't connect to the characters (other than Hoa)? I don't know.
But what made me stop was when Damaya got to the Fulcrum for her training, and it ended up being like some school setting where every child schemed against one another, and of course, Damaya was the most bullied kid there. Mostly, though, it was when during the bullying, there was talk about gay sex and "breeders". It opens a huge can of worms for me, and I just can't go there; I don't want to know where it goes.
Maybe when I'm in a better place, I'll pick this up again (so no rating, of course).
