Scifi isn't my usual genre (I am 100% a fantasy person) but I was drawn in by the first few pages of this one and decided to give it a shot. I am very pleased that I did.

The world felt very sci-fi without being intimidating for someone who doesn't usually read this genre. There was fairly constant action and I often found myself reading more pages than I'd planned because I was so absorbed in the story. I also found the book funny but it didn't overwhelm to the point it became too comedic to take seriously.

I enjoyed the characters, I especially loved and adored Bastion and how Elise's and Bastion's friendship grew. There was also a lot more queer rep than I was expecting (always a win for me). Elise is asexual (she says it in the book!) and her partner is nonbianary.

As the end drew closer I was concerned about how things would be wrapped up in a satisfactory manner but the author pulled it off quite nicely and I will certainly be keeping an eye out for future books of his.
