Revenant Gun by Yoon Ha Lee
4.0
I could have lived without knowing that Nirai Kujen was a switch but here we are.
But then again that's part of why I really like this series: the characterization. People do cross stitch. They have cats. They have hot kinky sex. They talk about sculpture and fashion. And some people use they pronouns and it's so not a big deal that the author doesn't even explain why. Just some people use singular they.
The plot? Oh right. I do recommend reading Extracurricular Activities before reading this one. It's short and has gay sex. You'll like it.
I found this book to be easier to follow than Raven Strategem. While there are some new characters, the cast of thousands from the previous book returns for the most part. That and I got to know them in context before they started talking to and about one another.
Otherwise, this book had the most straightforward plot. The interesting bit is how the characters would interact with each other once they did. And that isn't quite what's expected.
