I read a copy of this book as a judge for the Self Published Sci Fi Competition - these are my personal thoughts rather than an indication of the book's performance in the competition.

This book has a lot to offer - a strong sense of place and deliciously created atmosphere, a very sweet romance (t4t!!!!), and super interesting work relating to synthetic bodies and everything attached to a world where that's possible. 

I really enjoyed those parts of the book, and revelled in what felt like the author's joy in writing them. I especially adored the transness of this book and its romance - Guin and Ryoma are both a delight and the queernormativity was effortless.

Unfortunately, this book really needed a much more thorough edit, on both a copy editing and developmental editing level. If you're happy to look past the comma splicing and want to enjoy a romance book with a sci fi setting based on its vibes, though, this is probably a strong contender for you!
