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.

I kinda want to read it again. This has made me want to read more by the author, and be more open to books like this. It's thoughtful, emotional, well written....yeah. Lots of good stuff. So much to appreciate. For the length I did not feel like anything was shallow or underdeveloped, it was not like some novellas that make you wish they were longer. This was impactful and as long as it needed to be. It is worth reading, definitely one to try if you get the chance.

I really liked the world building but found I couldn't connect to the characters.
Setting the story on Jupiter was an interesting choice, and I liked the Classical studies and the mauzooleum. I even had some sympathy for the villains of the story because they're right, if they only get one shot, it's going to be very difficult to ever actually take the chance to reset Earth to something similar to what it was before.
