This one had a lot of potential, with a really interesting world and characters, I just wanted a little bit more time to sit with everything. The plot moved from stage to stage very quickly, and the romance was quite all of a sudden. It resulted in a lack of a connection that was so close to being there. I do really like all the casual lgbt rep (including they/them using mc and side polyam parents) and the discussions around colonialism and being mixed race (although they could have been developed a little more). Basically this was very close to being really good.
