Completely loved this book, so excited to read the next one.
Things I loved about it:

- Character development
- Queerness as an unremarkable aspect of the world
- Excellent pacing
- Complete commitment to the geology theme
- Such a good plot twist near the end
- Loose writing style that easily enveloped very difficult themes and humor
