This was an unfortunately average sci-fi with a narrator that was hard to enjoy. As someone in library school, the librarian was marketed too much in this to barely be in it... I did love Ginka and her story, it was altogether more compelling than Rig's which was disappointing. 

The worldbuilding here was a bit confusing and a little difficult to understand, but this is a debut novel and I love Queer Sci-fi so I will probably read what Pierlot writes next!v
