I was really excited about this book. I mean, science fiction with a female protagonist plus sex. And that cover!But it's just not for me. This was like the life story of a superhero. At 20%, I'd experienced more flashbacks than present action. The world-building was beautiful and complex, but sadly it was conveyed through infodumps and flashbacks. Maybe there was just too much effort put toward showing off the world and not enough effort toward developing a story in the present.
I didn't finish it, and I didn't read far enough to rate it.
