micheala's review against another edition
4.0
There are some things I really liked about this, and some things I was disappointed with. On the one hand I loved that it was about Ginko and Rig becoming friends despite coming from such different views about factions, and watching Ginko deconstruct her beliefs.
On the other hand, the description of the book implied that June would be a bigger part of the story then she ended up being. It made it sound like the adventure was going to be Rig, June, and Ginko. Unfortunately is more referenced then present. She's there for a few scenes, and like one call, but otherwise it's more just Rig thinking about June.
I also kinda felt like the ending was a little rushed. The whole book is this slow feeling story, then we have the big finale and then it felt like the author just wanted to wrap the loose ends up super quick. I wanted almost another entire chapter after the final showdown to explore some of the consequences.

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
