Notes: soooo good, best opening 100 pages I’ve EVER read, loved the historical sci-fi aspect - was super approachable, amazing steminist characters, fantastic main relationship, spice wasn’t graphic (great on theme euphemisms) but was fairly frequent, really great learning journey for MC re Race relations = good social commentary.  I think it’s best if you go in cold.
