was lent an ARC of this; it was great. there are levels of resistance and not all humans are capable of the roughest, but can still do something.

Fast paced storytelling that places librarianship and sexuality in an interesting alternate reality/dystopia that questions the parallels of information and identity.

Skeletal, slapdash execution of a cool idea - badass lgbtq librarians in a near future dystopia. The fight scenes and weapon talk are poor, the characters two dimensional, and the love interest feels premature and forced and cliched. There’s other stuff I don’t like - some betrayals are I guess worse than others for the protagonist - but in the end all I feel is disappointed. I should have been among the target demographic of this book, and the idea is rad, but this feels like bare bones of a story at best. I can’t recommend it. Reminiscent in some ways of An Easy Death by Charlaine Harris. I hope the author will try again, and other authors too, because there is a place for these stories. I’m pulling for you. We all are.
