This story is long enough to include an in-depth character arc, while being short enough to read in a day, if you're a fast reader. It also features an innovative world system where AI are like gods and are communicated with by young women (and possibly men, but I think it's only women?) called Godsingers, with a similar vibe to shrine maidens.
PROS
The main character, Yani, is feisty and fun to follow—not only that, but she's genuinely flawed. She thinks the worst of others, except for her goddess, Imon. She's pretty quick to judge and can even be cruel. The story focuses on events in her life, and we learn more about her family and how she became the way she is. None of her character traits and hardly any details about her feel surface level, making for a very strong lead.
The side characters are also well written, and support Yani's growth by serving as parallels and antagonists to her.
The worldbuilding is subtly exposited and well-written. The author waits until around the middle of this story to give a clear infodump and explanation, which I think was a great idea. It doesn't feel confusing at any point what's happening or why. We're simply left with a few questions, which are mostly explained. Plus, it's aesthetically fun and interesting.
CONS
The resolution hitches on a point that doesn't make complete sense. By which I mean, the central conflict isn't properly solved (in my opinion) but rather just moved on from because Yani's grown as a person and because of another event I won't spoil. Because the central conflict was, you know, *central*, I wasn't a huge fan of how it was resolved easily once it was time for the book to be over.
UNDECIDED
The world isn't fully explained. It's both futuristic and conservative, and I'm left wondering how things look, about the details of how things work, and about the true level of tech that's present. However, this isn't a huge flaw, as the series not being exposition heavy was a major bonus. If it was a bit longer, this would have been more of a concern.
Imon isn't developed that much, but she feels like a character with more depth under the surface. Imon's existence is cool in and of its own, and I feel like the author probably put a lot of thought into her feelings, she just doesn't get into them on the page, partially because we're locked in Yani's POV. However, it's nice for romantic leads to be equally developed, which doesn't 100% happen here.
----
Overall, the world and characters are well handled, and I'd say this was definitely a good read worth my time.
