Silvana
I was prepared to give this two stars but the story finally picked up (or I started to get it) in the final third. Absolutely enjoyed the technology, the organic BDO aspect (also getting some Vandermeerian feel here) and most of all, the way the MC was written. I was not expecting to read about depression, anxiety, PTSD, and a bunch of mental health issues I was not able to identify. That part was engaging. Plus, I always have a soft spot for an older/mature woman as MC.

My problem with the book

very interesting, I am still torn because I am not quite sure what to make of the ending of this, interesting world, good characters, and in my opinion what appears to be setup for more stories in a "standalone" book.

check it out for yourself, tell me how wrong I probably am :)
