How do I even begin ?!
This is now the standard for all space operas. The richness of relationships, the varied flaws in characters, the need to overcome self to be able to save who you love, the pain of leaving spaces that indoctrinated you and the relief of finding your true self on the other side.
And looking back to watch exactly how your sister’s rapist and your abuser dies FUCK yes
Genuinely, every space opera slated book now pales in comparison for me. These rich characters and dynamic setting bending fabrics of time and space was so clever and new. Absolutely brilliant.
