I loved this duology so much. The world-building just got better with this one even though it's book two out of two and no more will come after this (or will it?? Claire???). You have not only diversity in sexual identity but race and disabilities too. More than one character is suffering from a chronic illness, be it a physical one or mental one and they are not reduced to their illness. Rather all the characters are multifaceted. If you love sapphics in space and found families, this whole duology is the one for you.

Thanks to Flux Books for the free advance copy of this book.
- I am so happy to be back in the vibrant cyberpunk world of this series. CITY OF VICIOUS NIGHT picks up shortly after the end CITY OF SHATTERED LIGHT, and right away our crew is fighting for their lives and their loves again.
- I won't talk too much plot since I don't want to give away the first book. But if you love queer found families, prickly women, edge of your seat battles, and new love, these books are a must.
- It was also great to get a wider view of the world in this installment, as we learn more about the matriarch system on Requiem as well as more about characters who weren't central in the first book. There's space at the end for more sequels, so this is me begging Flux for more of this ragtag crew!
