What fun witty banter excellent plot and characters!! I enjoyed this slice of life adventure in this universe a lot. I only wish it was longer or that there were more in this universe / series. It's so fun!! I'd love more asian sci fi and actually familiar culture!!
The way it touched on war and colonization, and how to save one's own culture and selfhood felt authentic in ways only actual authors of color can write it. I hate traumaporn about wars but this isn't that. This felt like knowing horrors are unfolding day to day and not knowing what to do about it, even if you wanted to. It's complex and I'm trying not to spoil it too much. There is compassion in how this story conveys daily life during civil unrest.
