What an unexpected gem!! This was subtle scifi, but superbly executed. The political intrigue, lgbt rep, prothesis rep, and the inner machinations of a rebellion?? D A M N. This book brought it all!
I cannot wait to dive into the sequel!

I recommend this to fans of The Handmaid’s Tale & Leviathan Wakes/ The Expanse, but want something more bite sized. You won't regret it!

4.5

Outer space books and movies aren't usually my thing, but I really liked this!  It was super unique, and I didn't see the plot twist coming at all.  4.5 stars instead of 5 because I found Lito's perspective a little boring sometimes.

I adore this book. Definitely my favorite book I read last year, and it elicited the strongest emotional reactions I've had to a book in a while.
