Fortune's Pawn by Rachel Bach

exemzordies's review against another edition

adventurous dark emotional funny mysterious fast-paced

Moves along at a good clip

LGTBA representation, but a relatively minor character in a way that doesn't really affect plot

non binary alien from a culture that is very rigid but non-hierarchical in gender roles. Chooses pronouns and they are respected.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Blood and Sexual content

Minor: Cannibalism, Confinement, Death, Drug use, Gaslighting, Injury/Injury detail, Misogyny, Panic attacks/disorders, Sexism, Suicide attempt, and Vomit

Cannibalism

alien race that eats other sentient races, so cannibalism jokes occur

; Confinement

short duration, enemy combatants confine character to a chair psychically to interrogate

; Death

cast and enemy deaths

; Drugs

battle drugs exist and are used

; Gaslighting

to keep secrets, people in power sell a character false narratives, and there is memory manipulation

; Blood, Injury: lots of fights involve characters getting injured; Misogyny, Sexism

mild situations, protagonist quickly established authority and quashes that

; Panic attacks

mentioned- almost had a panic attack but didn't

; Sexual content: romantic situations with consent

sex scene and multiple makeout scenes. consent is typical, only ambiguous moment is a kiss that then is shortly reciprocated

; Vomit: impulse/desire to vomit, but doesn't; Suicide

considers taking self out in a hopeless near death situation
