I didn't really know what to expect with this book, I knew it was queer and fantasy and I was like hey I love gay fantasy books. It's my preferred book!
Isoka is a person I would avoid if I ever met her. She's cruel and no nonsense. I'm glad she doesn't stay that way. She is a person who changes for the better and I'm happy for her. Shes a survivor and she'll do what she has to. I get it, but sometimes you don't need to be that callous. I was proud how much she changed in the end.
I thought Soliton was interesting, I was hoping for a little more ghosty stuff to happen on the GHOST SHIP, but nothing too ghosty happened. Listen, I love old JRPGs and they had a ghost ship in them a lot of the time, my favorite part was going on the ghosts ships. I love that shit.
I hope we get more of that vibe in the future books. Maybe we will and maybe we won't.
This is definitely action packed so it's super easy to get into. It was fun! I loved it!
