I was in the mood for something outer spacey, and this super cute queer romance fit the bill for sure. Our one hero is Kit, who has a rare teleportation ability and a mysterious background and an adorable found family! Our other hero is Emil, a large botany nerd who runs a crew on a space station doing weird experiments with the stuff Kit teleports through! Also, there are some cats! Pretty much everyone in this book is queer (Emil is definitely bi and I had the vague impression Kit was as well), the romance is cute, the adventures are fun, there is maybe a little too much made-up science about teleportation but it becomes relevant to the plot so whatever. This is the first of a trilogy and I am immediately starting book two. A-.

The only thing that keeps this book from perfection is that the sequel isn't out yet.

Unique sci-fi that kept me hooked till the end. Could've used more relationship development but that's really my only criticism - the rest was awesome! Glad I stumbled across this one.

Did I know I needed a sci-fi mm romance? No, but it was fantastic! I loved the characters - you think you know what’s going on with them, but nope. The mystery about the Nowhere and the space station scientists had me questioning everything. I also like that there’s more to the series and I want to find out what else is happening.
I also loved the relationship between Kit and Emil. Kit is a runner with some loose definitions of right and wrong. Emil is a former soldier that just wants to protect his team. Together they were so much fun.

I've only read one other novel that blends science fiction and m/m romance this well. (Taji From Beyond the Rings, by R. Cooper.) I am impressed.
Edge of Nowhere has great worldbuilding, and great characters with some serious internal conflicts. Weird challenges! Danger! Weirder danger! Also, trust issues, ethics, found family, blood family, and morals. Also, for those of you who dislike sex scenes, they are few and pretty easy to avoid. But though I am tired of the usual, I enjoyed them specifically because they were Kit and Emil. That's excellent writing.

Fun, light SF romance that leaned a bit YA in style.
