I was quite taken by this book from the jump. I really love Mary and the nuance this story offered around being a woman in science was really satisfying. I also appreciated the interrogation of what resurrection science could mean for the world. Mary’s grappling with alienation as both related to gender and not was really engaging. Also always a sucker for a good queer storyline.
