Mehso-so

Sapphic tension, dragons, matriarchal power struggles—yes please. I devoured this in one sitting, captivated by the gender-bending emissary and the guarded queen. But the twist was easy to guess, and the ending felt a bit rushed. Still, I appreciated how Yang explored the clash between belief systems and the power of myth. Thought-provoking, but not quite as fiery as I‘d hoped. 🔥🐉🏳️‍🌈 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am determined to actually read and/or listen to A Christmas Carol during December this year! I tell myself I‘ll do this every year and then I‘m sad when I don‘t lol.

Characters were okay, they felt relatable with their worries.

I loved all that action, this was pretty thrilling to read & I wanted to see what was going to happen next.

I had no idea what this book would be when I picked it up but it turned out to be everything I wanted.
When it comes to genre distribution I think it's an even split between sci-fi and horror with a sprinkle of fantasy. I adore the writing, how the multiple POVs and time jumps were expressed via the formatting, the sci fi twists on classic horror/adventure figures, the banter, the occasional dark humour, the emotional heart, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? the strong characterization and unique perspective of both ship minds/AIs and other beings, the burgeoning relationships, the rocky road to found family.
Definitely high stakes and trauma, strong themes of individuals getting their power back, of 'monsters' reconciled to their own nature, their own motivations, seen as more than something to be feared, which does not stop the Bad Guy from being truly loathsome.
9h
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 There are aspects of this book that remind me of Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series, but it does earn its dark and gory horror tag, so be warned. 9h
