Sapphic SciFi mystery

Frontier follows our main character as she searches for a beacon in order to contact her missing love after crash landing on Earth together. Earth is broken, starved and messy. 

Each chapter starts off from a different characters POV, then blends into the MCs POV. The MC is known by how the POV character sees her along her journey. So she is known as ‘The Stranger’, ‘Darling’, ‘The Guest’, etc.. until we slowly unravel the mystery of how she came to Earth and where her love is. Most characters don’t come back, so it can be a bit confusing meeting so many people, but once I understood the formula it was really entertaining to see what the MC was up to next.

Frontier felt like a space western, with gunslingers, small dusty towns and relentless sheriffs. 

 

I read this book as an audiobook and the narrator did a wonderful job with all the characters. It was easy to follow along and I felt myself getting immersed in the story.

I’m a huge sucker for sapphic SciFi so naturally I gave this 5 stars. Would make a fantastic TV show or movie.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free audio ARC in an exchange for an honest review.
