Few too many contemporary earth memes for my taste, considering that this is like, the space future. But that can be overlooked.
All in all I had fun!

Muir's world-building is very interesting in that she has clearly worked hard to create a detailed world with internal consistency ...but she doesn't see fit to share that with us. I spent a good three quarters of the book very confused and honestly struggled to continue in parts (confusing, very descriptive heavy, one character disappears for days leaving the other wandering around confused herself). Then the ending hit me like a punch to the face.
If you can get through about 350 pages, all the action and exposition happens in the last 80 pages or so.
Super dark, very graphic gory.
Some pretty incredible fight scenes and one liners.
5/10 would recommend

The story was faster-paced, kept me guessing and had complicated characters that I both loved and loved to hate. It was fun - and a punch to the gut. I’ll be thinking about it for awhile.
