I sincerely wanted to like this book. I do really enjoy the idea of this world, and the characters have so much potential. But it's just not well written. The sentence structure is clunky, the diction is either repetitive and simplistic or convoluted with no balance, and the plot progresses quite often with wide leaps which simply aren't justifiable. I'm sure Polk knows exactly what she wants to convey, but she doesn't fully get her ideas across. I feel like she is exploiting same sex relationships merely to get her book sold. I have to admit that I find this author's twitter feed comments to be extremely arrogant, and I am turned off by how terribly she responds to her fans. So this being said, perhaps my dislike for the manner in which Polk represents herself on social media has influenced how I feel about this book. I want to own that to be fair; however, I really, genuinely do not enjoy prose written by tone deaf authors. The pacing of her sentence structure and her word choices are so utterly grating that it was difficult for me to even finish this book. I am definitely glad that I bought a used copy for two dollars and didn't spend more. This is one I will be promptly donating to the recycling bin.
