The story itself is interesting, though confusing at times by the nature of the hook.

However, prepare to cringe every time a woman or girl is introduced. Or reintroduced to a new scene. These characters are constantly painted with stereotypically physical descriptions, regardless of the relevance of their appearance, or the relevance of their part in the narrative. Men’s physical traits are organically revealed throughout the story, comparing to family or contrasting with rivals or reputations. But as soon as a woman enters the scene, you could tailor a suit for her, her curves are so immediately defined. It is one of the worst examples of the “men writing women” cliche I’ve suffered through in a long time.
