I really enjoyed this mostly because I have never read anything like it. It kind of transcends genre because it is part fable and part manifesto, but also somehow reminds me of a queer communist version of Animal Farm. My one complaint is that I don't feel like too much happened plot-wise, it was kind of an expression of ideas and world-building for 100 pages. I wish this world had been expanded on to create more fleshed out characters and conflicts within the beautiful world that Mitchell created.
