The Red Scholar's Wake by Aliette de Bodard
3.0

Thank you Gollancz for a physical copy of this book!

So, I am not sure where to start with this. I super loved the concept of space opera, queer representation and all that.. however, the arcs of a good plot and characterization was just way off. The first 30pages were quite tolerable as if its building on something but it never really did end up anywhere.

There's so much potential conceptually, there were just some lapses on the execution that made the book unremarkable
