A cinematic scifi book with a female lead that isn't 700 pages? Yes please! I found Walli to be so compelling as she risked her life for the greater good, all while maintaining her charm and winning smile. At times it slowed down a bit, but it's difficult to have a plot that's always in crisis. I found the space elements and descriptions to be realistic, but I'm not an aerospace engineer.

But all things considered - do I want to go back to boring scifis with cis white men in the spotlight? I would prefer not.
