    The alien character's point of view felt interesting and unique (loved the take on selkie mythology) but the actual story did not feel well constructed. The pacing was very weird - some things took forever to happen, but the last third is just twist after twist at breakneck speed - and the romance such as it is happens way too fast.

    This is so interesting to read in the current year - hard to believe that this was published in the 90s. The main character is basically a livestreamer, written pre-YouTube and Twitch and pre-heyday of reality TV (pretty much only The Real World was on in the 90s). And the characters still have similar issues to real streamers, eg. having to curtail content to please sponsors, and kind of be sneaky to cover controversial topics.

    I would absolutely love to see this with revised naming conventions and proper editing

    I also...didn't realize I had to make a form post to get badges. Thank you user @knucklevlvt for mentioning that in yours.
