I was not prepared.
I bought this book b/c the cover was giving me m/m romance, space adventure, enemies to lovers, low stakes vibes.
While it is most of those things, this is not low stakes. This is intense, dark, and excellent sci-fi.
It made me ask so many questions and consider the ethics of things I would’ve have before. Just when I thought I had all of the ethical questions down, MORE PRESENTED THEMSELVES! It was a lot!
This book is a ride. It starts YA enemies to lovers and then just throws curve ball after curve ball. I was genuinely surprised and impressed. I’ll be thinking about this book for awhile. I might even beg you to read it so we can discuss it. I NEED to discuss it!
Highly recommend!
