As a worldbuilding book - say, for an RPG - this is fairly interesting, with lots of good cultural details. But as a story, the huge amounts of info-dumping make it tedious and slow for at least the first 2/3 of this 140-page novella. At around 100 pages, the story finally picks up some steam and becomes reasonably enjoyable.
There are some good themes of anti-colonialism and womens' rights worked in, but the lengthy info-dumping keeps it from getting to the level of a great story.
