Great book, would recommend even to non sci-fi fans.

At time of reading this might be my favourite book I’ve read this year (tied with This Is How You Lose the Time War)

Seeing how radicalised Kyr was, and how intentionally blind to things going on around her at the beginning and then seeing where she ended up was very moving

Time travel, aliens, asi, vr and action, while at the same time unpacking racist, sexist and speciesist attitudes. And there’s queer representation, and we overthrow a fascist regime? I think I literally couldn’t have asked for anything more from a book
