I'm going to be thinking about this book and it's universe for a long while.
Maybe i need to read more Sci-Fi, because this is the best book I've read (or listened to) in over a year. I absolutely loved the characters and the world building, and the voice acting in the audio book was stellar.
Spinning it all around in my mind.
It's 3 am so I don't know how to put my absolute adoration for this story into words but: it's an intriguing and queer-normative universe in space with extremely messy military & galactic politics that has pseudo-soul bonds between the main characters, what more could you ask for?

(Also, I did not realize that this is a sequel(?) or at least part of a larger world until just now and I definitely plan on checking out the other book in the series as soon as I can.)
