A review by josephholsten
Darkship Thieves by Sarah A. Hoyt

I’m not sure it’s written well at all, but it comes to mind often. Especially reading most any work with an ubermensch second estate. Sure libertarian romantic sci-fi is not as gripping as the Mockingjay cycle, but it does have at least a little more history fleshed out in its world building.
It’s hard to praise anything here that isn’t better demonstrated in the Red Rising cycle.

Or if you really want libertarian sci-fi, go read son Ursula K. Le Guin or Nancy Kress. Why no, it’s not as ideologically pure as Rand’s Anthem. That’s a good thing.
