I was quite happy when I won this on Bookish First. It had been so long that I read any cyberpunk/sci fi and this seemed like a good way to dive back in. This turned out to be an okay read for me. I would love to say what it was missing...but I don't know what that is. It didn't fully grab me but I didn't hate it. It was simply okay. And okay is okay. Not everything can be a 5 star read.
That's not to say that I didn't love anything in the book. I absolutely did. The queer rep in this was great. The MC is asexual and I don't think I've ever read a book with an ace MC. So that alone was great off the bat.
I will say that I wouldn't mind this as a movie. I can definitely see this being a really good sci fi movie. That's not an insult to the book at all. But sometimes.....SOMETIMES books translate better on film then they do in written form. Blasphemous, I know. But SOMETIMES...it's true. You know it.
