So this is more or less everything I don't like in Scifi in one big leap. It hard core was not for me, particularly the writing style and the world building. There are some cool ideas but a lot of it is info dumping and so much of it feels cobbled together. It's clearly trying to be a YA version of a Becky Chambers book but fails so spectacularly. I did not enjoy reading this which is really too bad because I want more YA SciFi Queer stories but between the poorly plotted story, the half-assed world building, and the characters that never felt fully real I just... couldn't.
