This is an extremely binge-able book, tell me why I was laughing into 3am! The last time I had this much fun was watching comedy TV. That is not to say that this book was all comedy; because this group were on the run and they were fight against prejudice and ignorance.
I don’t read a lot of science fiction or more specifically intergalactic operas and after binging this one I absolutely will be getting into them more. While this book is the third in the series, I did not feel like I was missing out on massive chunks of information. I will in fact be reading the first and second book sometime some
Consider Pegasus is set in a queer normative universe wherein unicorns are considered a disease and a fight for unicorn rights is on the rise. Through Lem we see the planets and Bexley who is trying to get her pregnant dad and family to safety. Being born with wings or horn, they risk discrimination and stigma.
It was hilarious but the themes discussed are very real and important. Highly recommend

This is another ripping yarn in the Teapot series, easily my best find of 2022.
I like everything about Si's writing the humour, the referential nods, the the crusading righting of wrongs. All of this in an expansive universe with delightful characters that I truly care about.
I do hope there will be so much more.

I burned through all 3 books in this series in under a week. Absolutely adore it. it's as whacky as Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy, full of nerdy references to all your faves (highlights include Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Hitchhikers but there are maaaaany). It's also one of the deepest, most inclusive and most moving scifi I've read in a long time. All those whacky characters - the horse person, Big Bird, the grumpy robot who can't swear, the aurora borealis personification, and Spot the Dog - get more and more touching the further you get in the series. And if the 2nd book was very much a metaphor about human rights (refugee rights, and anti slavery and racism mainly - a strange contrast to The Fourth Time, We Drowned that i am reading concurrently), this one is a deep dive into ableism, saneism and institutionalisation, conversion therapy and the kind of procedures intersex people have to undergo. It is not subtle. It doesn't have to be. It manages to make its point very clear while also remaining a funny, whacky scifi story about a nonbinary person and her dog having adventures in space with her unicorn friend. Those two things can be true at the same time, but not all authors would manage it.
I'll definitely jump on any further books in this series in an instant.
