This is a short little read, but definitely fun! The characters are fun, the settings are, of course, interesting, and it's got gender!
That said, the promised anti-capitalism of the book comes off as a little capitalist-realismy, and the gender stuff is a little superficial (although some people like that!). Personally, I didn't deeply connect with the character's relationship or personal arcs either.
That said, I don't regret reading it. Because it's so short, it works super well as a great little pocket-sized adventure that's still fun and good to read!
