Ohhh I REALLY enjoyed this! The characters were smart and fun, and the plot was intriguingly addictive. I think the world building could definitely have used some work; I was initially very confused about the time period, and wanted a little more info on governing structures. But still a fun, fast read that I can’t help wish was a full-length novel.

This was a really well done novella. Gailey created more empathetic, complex characters than many authors have accomplished with many more pages.
