A stand-alone sapphic (pirate x goddess) space opera from my beloved Megan E. O'Keefe?! I am just so happy. This was such a fun drop-in adventure, and while the world building at times required more exposition and some "now I will explain everything that has happened so far in a single monologue" infodumping, it was so romantic and adventurous that I didn't even mind. I loved the character development for both Amandine and Faven, the exploration of their class difference and political baggage, and the found family in the Marquette's crew. I listened to this on audio, and the narrator, Zara Ramm, was phenomenal, and gave our space pirates the perfect amount of swagger.

Also - I am absolutely trash for a sentient ship, and this plot delivered!
