This is an interesting book. It sets an interesting premise and as a reader you are given little information about what has actually happened, also supported by the choice of narrators narrowing the information available even more. This is both positive and negative
Positive: the relations between the community and the surrounding world (and indigenous people and the ruling state) becomes an engine for the story and adds to the vibe.
Negative: while this works to create a story (and world) for the characters,there are also som unresolved issues, certain issues that arise that seem to not have been thought through during the world building. The information should be available considering the specific characters that appear in the novel and their background, but it is left unresolved leading to some dents in the world-building.
