Very fun, fairly light read full of lots of enjoyable speculative biology. Warning for some transphobia (but only by characters who are clearly portrayed as The Bad Guys.) It felt more fantasy than sci fi, much more comedic in tone than Children of Time, but also very good.

I am also so, so pleased that Tchaikovsky did what I’ve been begging writers to do for years and ended a sort of love triangle with “Hey, wouldn’t polyamory be a totally acceptable solution to everyone involved here and maybe we should just… do that and avoid any more drama?”
