♡ Slow Burn

♡ Found Family

♡ Sapphic Sci-fi

Sona and Eris were absolutely iconic and I love them so much.   I enjoyed this book so much.  The found family was everything and the writing in general was really amazing.  Every scene was set perfectly and the atmosphere described so well.

The duel point of view was done so beautifully.  Seeing the differences in personalities between Eris and Sona was kinda hilarious at times.  They had a bit of banter between them which was great and the flirting was lovely too.

Overall, it was so easily to fall into the world of this book, to love the characters and be there cheering them on.

DNF 18%

I was really enjoying this book, but I was just having a hard time finding the motivation to listen to it.

It had a good intro, it didn’t feel like the world building was being info dumped, I liked the narrators. So much of the world is implied. The POVs felt so different and distinct. Each character had a unique tone from the narrators. I just couldn’t find the want to listen. I’ll probably come back to it when I’m in the mood for this type of story.

4.0

This book was pretty good! It was charming, and the love story and world were interesting. I do think it suffered a bit from dialogue/speeches that erred on the side of being overdramatic and cheesy, but for the first published book of a writer it’s really nothing aggregate. Good fast paced sci fi action read; it’s “gay pacific rim” as my roommate described it.
