I Absolutely loved this book (and I don’t always love sci-fi)! When former treasure hunter Boots sells fake maps about a legendary lost warship to the wrong people, it sets off a chain reaction that pulls her in, along with her old crew and a competitive racer. I loved the integration of magic with technology, and I really enjoyed the characters throughout. Also always delighted to find LGBTQ rep or books by Queer authors (and this has both!)
