The language was too young, the topic too mature for the language and somehow the plot was too simple. It felt like a long novella. A lot of repetition instead of developing the worldbuilding. The antagonist was much too flat. But at least the plot made sense. The book really could have benefitted from a few extra chapters to allow for depth.
