Review:

I found this book through a reading challenge on StoryGraph.  I was glad I did.  Once I saw Becky Chambers & Rivers Solomon had written some of it, I immediately had to put it on my TBR list.  I was so excited to read it that I read it right away.

Asala & Niko were well written.  You just knew who they were and could put yourself in their place.  I didn't really like Asala because I was in their head & realized I wasn't that much different than they where had I been in her position.  In any position they were forced into in their life actually.  Niko I just didn't like on principle.  Then realized I was being an adult stuck in my childhood/teenage years (I was bullied by the rich/popular, etc despite how 'good' they were).  I realized they were just a kid trying to prove themself and screwed up big time.  I hope they turn it all for good, but I am afraid they will do things in the name of good, despite them being not good.  Like most politicians.

Once my library has an audio version of the next book, I'll be reading it.
