we love an own voices sci fi novel! this book was really entertaining. I loved the take on theology here and the way the book was structured made it hard to put down. yasira and ev were great characters, really developed, which you don’t see a lot in today’s popular sci fi with women, queer characters, or neurodivergent characters. this universe’s conception of gods and theology was also incredibly creative and I loved it. some of the side characters (especially tiv) felt pretty flat, which was my biggest issue. just in general, though, the fact that the characters were so diverse made this book even better. the outside never felt slow or dragging. I hope to see more books in this universe in the future!
