As a physically disabled person, I really liked how this book handed disability, and the authors did a really good job at making the world building itself feel diverse. I loved the characters, really really liked the story and the prose, and the end was an absolute banger. I enjoyed the audiobook, though it was a bit robot in the first few chapters.

There were, however, some kind of important things I didn't like. The middle section of this book was BLOATED. The pacing was incredibly slow, which was a huge disappointment after the firecracker start. This book really didn't need 500+ pages to tell its story. I would have liked the characters to feel a little more rounded, especially given the time we spend with them. The side romances felt a little contrived. Finally, and perhaps most jarringly, this was written as a standalone but does not feel like one. Everything felt so unfinished by the end that I felt like I had another two books to go. I understand that the authors have more ideas for more books in this world, but I think this should have been the first in a planned series from the get go.
Overall though the book was fine and I look forward to what the two authors bring out in the future.

Lots of swearing. It makes sense for the character but it’s something to be aware of if you’re a young reader or considering it for a younger audience.aardwyrm's review against another edition
