Certainly worth a read if just for love, loss and laser guns… and lesbian space cowboys. However, it was written with a slightly (possibly purposefully) irritating plot line and some of the body gore in the imagery made me a little sick [would not recommend reading all of this whilst u eat breakfast]. An interesting take on utopia gone wrong and ultimately somewhat akin to Le Guin.
