destdest 's review for:

Barda by Ngozi Ukazu
3.5
adventurous fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Great narrative voice but the romance/connection between Scott and Barda was shallow. Maybe he personified freedom to her, which would explain the attraction. Overall, I still enjoyed the story and thought the author worked well with what they had.
