[Metal From Heaven is recommended for fans of Gideon the Ninth by the publisher but really should have been recommended specifically for fans of Harrow the Ninth. You'll know what I mean if you've read both and start this book, since some readers loved Gideon but disliked Harrow due to considerably different stylistic and structural writing choices. Thankfully I loved Harrow the Ninth in all its painful glory, and I loved this book as well.]
Metal From Heaven abounds with literal gender outlaws, a unique in-universe queer culture, and so many butches I felt like this book had scanned my brain and conjured up everything I could have asked for in a fictional work — not to mention the incredible world building and electrifying plot. I wish I could read twenty more books like this, yesterday. Definitely check out the content warnings before reading, but if the official synopsis or any of the things previously mentioned sound interesting, it is so worth the wild ride.
