This was a fantastic start to what I know will be a fantastic sci-fi series! It was incredibly fast paced from the start, with so much action, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I do wish it had had some more slower moments to get to know the characters better. But I still loved them so much. Hwa Young is a great main character, with so much drive and determination and internal conflict over her identity and loyalty. I love her so much! I also loved Bae and Geum and Seong Su. Each one had their own unique personalities and their own unique relationship with Hwa Young. I particularly loved the rivalry between Hwa Young and Bae and how they slowly became friends over the course of the book. Lastly, I love the lancers so much! They are so cool, and the connection between Hwa Young and her lancer was so well written I felt like I was right there with them experiencing the same thing. And of course, I adored that this book is set in a queer norm society. Overall, I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait for the series to continue.
