accidentallyinspace 's review for:

Aetherbound by E.K. Johnston
2.5
sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Rank and file magic sci fi universe with a healthy mix of child abuse and "things go right for the protag with no issues". Dialogue is sorta dull and uninspired; people rattle off lines taken directly from social justice essays. Those concepts are good and I support them, I just wish the writing had been a bit less cookie cutter.
