I loved seeing so many different iterations of queer, spicybrained people in a hopeful future, but the pacing felt off - there was a lot of wheel-spinning for the first two thirds of the book, then everything happened at once (and I had to go back a few pages at one point to make sure I hadn't missed a crucial part of the plan. I hadn't) and...I don't know what else exactly it was that didn't entirely work for me. It kind of felt like it couldn't decide if it wanted to be cozy or political, tried to be both and as a result kind of ended up being neither. I really wanted it to lean into one or the other. Also, I called the sketchy people as soon as they were introduced, but that may be bc I read a whole fuck of a lot of related stories.
