Junker Seven is a very promising debut book! Its characters are highly loveable and revolution-inciting, making it easy to root for them along their fugitive romp through the stars.
The only major faults with this book were editorial in nature (some misspellings and clunky phrasings), but given that this is an indie published debut without the enormous resources of a traditionally published book, I'm willing to let those slide (especially since the story itself is great!)
Overall, this is a world I want to continue sinking my teeth into and a story I can't wait for the next installment of!

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!!
