Victories Greater Than Death by Charlie Jane Anders
4.0
3.5 Stars.
Fun, fresh story, lovely cover, but a little long for it’s own pacing & how much actually happens/resolves - and that it once again is one of those books that doesn’t say it is one in a series! Also, there are 6 human main characters, 4 of whom aren’t introduced until 100 pages in, along with many supporting alien cast. I liked them all but had a lot of trouble telling them all reliably apart, especially with a lot of gender neutral names/pronouns and human/alien languages (which was of course otherwise pretty cool).
