what an interesting read
the beginning of this book had me questioning if I had jumped into a sequel. very little explanation of anything going on, just truly throws you into the unknown.
in the second third of the book is when i started putting pieces together, and the last third is when I felt like I understood everything- and wow, the last third of the book had me absolutely hooked.
I love when a book is worth sticking out through the confusion, and this one was definitely worth it!
strong women characters, strong queer characters, all wrapped up into political intrigue heavy murder mystery space opera. love!
