This book was absolutely NOTHING like what I thought I was getting into. I expected a queer sci fi romance/drama where we unlearn cultural biases and nationalist brainwashing and come to understand we are all of us more alike than different— maybe teaming up against an evil AI… then 50% through, the airlocks open and we get yanked out into the vacuum of space because everything we thought we knew was a lie. Once that happened, i couldnt stop reading. This book went in directions i NEVER could have predicted, and it was amazing.
