The narration style takes some getting used to, being alternately detached and wholly emotion-driven, but it works well both to convey Nemesis’s thoughts and to tell the story from the view of an alleged outsider to the society. Technically I guess it’s YA dystopia, but the space setting and well-executed political intrigue — coupled with memorable characters and a morally fascinating premise — actually work really well for me.

EDIT: I previously shelved this under LGBTQIA representation for a significant development; however it was really just a single scene, and while noteworthy and poignant, it was the only such representation present.
