I would’ve liked some more descriptions of the city and explanations for how everything worked.
The city fed off the people living there and vice versa (in a way). I also liked that there were life threads connecting the city and its buildings and inhabitants together. I think it’s a cool take on futuristic biophilic cities. I was very intrigued by the mushrooms/living city element. I was definitely intrigued by the captain/surgeon’s story and wanted to learn more but we don’t really get a lot (read: almost nothing) about him and the crew. I didn’t mind not understanding entirely what was going on at that point and what we learn there does come back around. That being said, I think I’m one of the few people that liked the prologue. I think slowing down the plot or explaining certain things a little more would’ve been beneficial and would clear up a lot of the confusion readers experience. It’s definitely confusing, especially once you get about 50% of the way through and the action starts picking up. Looking at other reviews it seems as though this is a common theme, so I know it isn’t just me or that I missed some important element of the story. I have to say that I’m kind of confused about what was going on in this book. Recommended if you like: sci-fi, body horror, LGBTQ+, Indigenous author, magic
