Starglass by Phoebe North

I was so delighted to start this book based on the description: secular Jews on a space ship! revolutionaries! queer representation!
Sadly, the book itself was disappointing. I wish the book had been about anyone but Terra, who is bounced from conflict to conflict, decisions made for her. Towards the end, that improves, but it's frustrating as a reader. There's also the fact that she uses an unfortunate term for the queer characters, and outs them, which makes me (as a queer reader) wince.
I might pick up the sequel based on the fact that there's a xeno romance and the book has left the claustrophobic confines of the ship.
