i fuckin loved this book
which, reading other reviews i know is a drop in the ocean of mixed feelings.
The biggest complaints made by other readers are that it’s very quip-y. And the chapters are like 3 pages long and end on a cliffhanger most of the time.
Now for me, who has the attention span of a goldfish, and a deep hatred of dry ass Sci-Fi novels, this book is absolutely perfect. And the main character is bi, which i love, and has an fwb relationship with her hunk of an engineer (who is very sweet, respectful, funny and loveable, as all good men should be).
ITS JUST FUCKIN GOOD, I LIKED IT A LOT. The main characters are funny, competent, and just all around cool. There are definitely jump scares in this that read like a tv show, and it’s super fun to read. Books like these remind me why I like YA, they can have more fun!

Una opera espacial llena de aventuras con personajes que claramente necesitan ir a terapia. La dinámica entre los personajes es asombrosa y me encanta como los conflictos personales de la personaje principal juegan un papel tan importante sin perder de vista la trama principal. Completamente adictiva y llena de acción.
Definitivamente me recuerda a Capitana Marvel con más desarrollo de personaje y sáfica.

Reread! I love this book so much and with my whole heart and soul. I am in love with Alyssa and HM and the slowburn romance and the crownchase and the friendships and the intrigue and the puzzles and it is all so perfect. Can't wait to dive into Thronebreakers now!

Oh my goodness I am obsessed with this queer-normative space world and all the amazing characters!
Captain Alyssa Farshot's world is rocked when her Uncle (who just happens to be the emperor or the universe?) dies and a Crownchase is called. During a crownchase, each prime family gets to pick one person to participate in a inter-galactic race to find the crown seal, deciphering clues and puzzles and diplomatic missions to be the first to find it and be declared emperor. Alyssa is in no way interested in being emperor, but that doesn't mean she won't participate.
I love ALL OF THE CHARACTERS in this book. I fell in love with Alyssa and Hell Monkey basically in the first chapter. Alyssa is so witty and clever and FUN, but also such a complex character that needs some major work on her feelings. Hell Monkey is so sweet and funny and perfect. Oh my gosh I love them.
The plot of this book was just as good as the characters. I was intrigued every step of the way. If you love books that revolve around games with high stakes, this is definitely the book for you! Everyone, go forth and read!
