The description said they're the coast guard for space, but in the narrative they self-identified as cops, so I'm not finishing this. My patience for copaganda and cops as protagonists is almost nonexistent.
Content Warnings
Minor: Cursing, Death
Has a weird mix of flippancy and casual discussions of violence in a way that was off-putting.
Content Warnings
Minor: Rape, Violence
It’s possible that this would turn out to be foreshadowing the discovery that this guy is bad, but I was offput by a conversation where the fantasy arms dealer CEO explains that it’s fine for him to pay for revolutions with funds gotten from selling arms to the colonizers, thus making more money as they buy more weapons to put down the revolutions he’s funding. Oh also he’s a tragic gay widower whose husband died for one of those revolutions. I’m uninterested in pinkwashing arms dealers who enable colonizers.

If you take a trans person without any access to transition care and replace them with a copy of their personality in a new, ideal body, you’ve just murdered a trans person to make a cis person with extra steps. No thank you. This immediately threw me out of the story.
I need to not read a book about a fantasy eating disorder.
