Another good installment in the Tensorate series! Like the third book, I appreciated how this story fleshed out the world more, while still staying lightly connected to the previous plots. It is refreshing to have such a casual queer story, a slow burn rebellion tale, and a backstory to a character I hadn't thought about before. Once again, Neon Yang writes a short but impactful read. Sad that I finished the series but interested in reading more of their work. Overall, Yang writing improved across the series and the character exploration felt deeper and more realistic. I didn't necessarily love or deeply connect with this installment's characters, especially to fully understand their motivations. That is the sacrifice of a short novel, but I would definitely recommend this series for anyone looking for a short and enjoyable science fiction read.

Such a good finale to the series! The way the story was told as a bar conversation worked really well for me and I actually really loved having the focus be the deep character moments while the main action was in the background. At its core this story was one of Sapphic villains in a lovers to enemy arc, which was just so much fun.

 Absolutely excellent. Loved the backstory involving the mother of the twins. And to have it told as essentially a bar story after her death from a lover was quite interesting. I only wish it was longer! I hope this doesn't conclude the series, because I would love to read more.
