I love every word in this book. I need more poly rep, more revenge stories, more main characters who fully lean into it being worth the cost to shift their morality entirely, AND more mechs dammit.

Interesting subversion of certain tropes and well crafted telegraphing. It didn't hit quite right for me, probably because I'm currently in an argument with the "special boy/girl" model of fantasy. ...more

I really really enjoyed this book! I would say a 4.5 is probably more accurate and that is only for minor smoothness in the writing. But since this is a debut book I would say that is expected.
