This was a really solid read for me, and I really enjoyed Malka Ann Older's writing style -- I am definitely going to pick up the next book in this series!

It's a fun journey to follow two former lovers who get entwined again, trying to help each other with an investigation. It was fun to see their dynamic and how it evolved over the pages.

The mystery itself was very fun as well, nothing overly complicated or new but still engaging. The setting itself adds some originality to what is doing on, and the world-building we're given was very intriguing. It was fun to see how life had developed on Jupiter.

It was a short book but a very enjoyable one and worth picking up if you're a fan of sci-fi / fantasy books!
