This was great, even if it was sad at the end. I loved Misery as a character and her relationship with Lighting made her even better. I also really loved Ruin, zie was such an interesting character to read about and hir personality was so much fun. I enjoyed hir attitude and sassieness. The ending of this was also amazing and I loved the writing (which is strange considering that was a hang up for me in The Black Tides Of Heaven). The use of neopronouns was great as well, the queernormative world made me very happy to read about. Overall, this was a lot of fun and is definitely a recommendation. I don't read a lot of spacey sci-fi, I prefer robots or superheroes, but this made me more excited to pick some up.

I wish there was a second one, it isn't needed, I just really like this world and these characters
