Honor Lost
by Ann Aguirre, Rachel Caine
AYYYYYYY! Y’all hear that???? That’s the sound of JAYE, THE REST OF MY FRIENDS, AND I BEING RIGHT AS HELL ABOUT THIS SERIES Imagine me spraying confetti everywhere right about now. POLY GAY SPACE WHALE ROMANCE SUP BITCHES
Space stuff, and sci-fi in general, is INCREDIBLY hit or miss for me. I’ve found that I need a LOT of detail, and when things are “otherworldly,” I can get lost when there isn’t enough description or explanation of the world’s parameters. This series has NEVER had an issue with that, constantly giving me the stakes and vivid prose full of intriguing developments, and I’m beyond PERPLEXED that this series is so underrated. Y’all live like this, missing out on ART and space whale ROMANCE? Can’t relate.
I can’t emphasize this next part enough - I would fucking die for Zara, Bea, and Nadim. Throw in Starcurrent too, but the core three fill my heart with so much swoony joy that I can barely find room to fill my lungs. Sweethearts. They are pure and utter sweethearts.
This book didn’t have to do too much to become a favorite (mainly just needed to end well and make certain things that I needed canon), and these authors delivered and then some. For books so well developed, I don’t know how I feared a rocky ending; probably just leftover trauma from other trilogies hinting at things and then leaving them in the footnotes.
Listen, if you like sci-fi at all, are open minded about a teenage girl potentially fking a whale, and want a high stakes adventure that doesn’t leave you wishing you’d gotten more information or known more about the WHY of things, read this series. It needs all the love it can get, honestly. It deserves the world.
