I seriously enjoyed The Black Tides of Heaven. It's exploration of gender and weaponry (and responsibility with such weaponry), on top of complex family and sibling dynamics, was absolutely fascinating to me. It also was the perfect blend of heartbreak.
This is my first of Neon Yang's work, but I already own The Genesis of Memory and I'm really excited to read that by them, too. I definitely plan to read the next novella in this series and I recommend it for you all, too!
