This book is a fever dream.
I did not understand what was happening, I felt consistently confused, AND I felt overheated and displeased.
The last one might have been at least in part due to the climate change-induced hell in which we all exist, but I can't say for sure.
This had one of my least favorite tropes (annoying perfect younger sibling who an elder sibling has to do everything for) and is in one of my least favorite subgenres (young adult vaguely sci-fi) and provided one of my least favorite vibes (confusion, but not even really that because to be confused implies I care about figuring out what's going on, and I don't care about any part of this).
The writing was fine. The concept was creative. The characters are meh.
This was not fun for me.
Bottom line: No thanks!
