3.5

This was a really cool concept: sci-fi war between Mars and corporations on Earth with soldiers who are turned into light to beam them across the galaxy, but sometimes that results in them experiencing the war differently. It raised such interesting questions around culpability in war, power structures, and how people can change cycles of violence. But the writing was a little detached for me and so I didn’t feel very strongly about any of the characters. But very cool premise! 

Content warnings: extreme and graphic depictions of war (inc use of both biological and chemical weapons), torture, blood/gore, violence (inc against civilians and children), death

This was confusing in the best way possible. Heavy military sci-fi. Lots of wild time things.

CWs: Abandonment, alcohol consumption, blood, confinement/quaratine, colonization, cursing, death, excrement, fire/fire injury, genocide, gun violence, military brutality, murder, sexual content, torture, violence, war.
