This was such a fun read! I loved the representation of a disabled and Autistic non-binary lesbian as our protagonist, and the hopefulness of taking on fascist politicians, corrupt businesses, violent police and far right agitators all at once. I think that this spoke of trans resilience and the ways we can create the revolution in a way that warmed my heart. I also felt the autism rep was great as an Autistic person.
Looking forward to the second book!

This book was wonderful! If you're looking for a space adventure with lovable queer characters, goldfish, and plenty of badassery, this is the book for you.
This book, while set far into the future, talks about issues we're dealing with today. Homophobia and Transphobia running ramped all over the world, and in Junker Seven, all over the Galaxy. The way the characters spoke about their lives opened my eyes to perspectives I've never been able truly to envision as a queer cis person. I found it inspiring, and the lessons I learned will probably stick with me for a long time. Thank you to Olive J. Kelley for allowing me to read this as an A.R.C. and thank you to whoever reads this, now go read the book!!
