It’s an ok mystery, a decent sci-fi, and a full romance. Kind of forgettable for me though with some cool concepts. I just never really bonded with any characters.

Definitely better for me via audio. I grew to like the sapphic romance and the cosy gaslamp sci-fi setting was nice and unique was well. Looking forward to reading the sequel.

A lighthearted sci fi mystery. I really enjoyed the setting, which evoked the 1800s (railcars, telegrams, universities) in a scifi setting (200+ years on Jupiter). The writing style took me a while to get into. Mossa and Pleiti are a delight.
