I love a space found family story, and the AI characters in this were so enjoyable. It's not really like the Murderbot books tonally, but I found myself mentally drawing parallels between the two books in the way they humanize AI. It was also fun to read a stand-alone, and get the whole story in one go.

Gita is the captain of a starship along with Mandy, Aoifa, Dru, Sycorax, and their starship cat Grimm. They receive a distress call from Gita’s AI daughter, Ri, who’s ship is has been overtaken by a virus and is now stranded on the forbidden Loki’s Ring. It’s a race against the clock to save her as Gita and her crew find themselves in trouble as well.
I really enjoyed this! I thought the world building was very intriguing, especially the way that AI is viewed which made the relationships with their ship’s AI and Gita with her daughters interesting.
Also the body horror aspect was VERY horrifying and I was creeped out for the rest of the evening.
I will say the only thing I disliked was the alternating POV. I’m not a big fan in general but can enjoy it on occasion. In this book’s case it just seemed like there were too many and the last one was introduced almost 50% of the way through the book.
Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!
