It's so nice to find a great sci-fi standalone. This one has all the slow burn, drawn out tension between two truly lovable main characters you could want. And the epilogue is the best payoff possible. One of the blurbs recommends this for fans of The Goblin Emperor and I highly agree! But it's also more tense and high stakes, and I really recommend reviewing the content warnings because there's an abusive relationship we see in flashbacks.
