I enjoyed this and I like Sangu Mandanna’s writing. Great narrator. I think retellings one is not familiar with can take a bit to get into but it was well worth it. As someone who hasn’t read many space/celestial set books, I think this eased me in and made me more interested in reading more in this genre. Esmae and Max were complex and Rama, and Titania were a delight..
Moderate: Abandonment, War, and Ableism
