While probably classified appropriately as a “space opera” they only very briefly go off planet - but that aside - I enjoyed this! Definite Cowboy Beebop vibes, but more modern and certainly more queer. I appreciated the diversity and representation. The bond between the Angel, Lou, Sukyi, and Enid was so damn charming. I would have enjoyed more relationship building with the Emissaries. The final showdown on the station felt… a little too predictable? Easy? That said the several chapters of on-planet fighting were extremely well done. Writing combat effectively is really hard, and she did it well.

Also the cover? I mean, give me this book as a comic, please!!
