I wanted more about the cats and their secret communes of meeting in the abandoned theater. Not whatever this mess was. I read it... but I still couldn't tell you what it was about.

Vivid and detailed world building. Strong social commentary/political intrigue. Great tension. Characters were charming but not great. Intriguing if convoluted prose (comes across much better on audio I believe.)
