thinking it's appropriate to blurb this with 'comfort woman' considering that this is a fucking space opera and the character in question has blond hair and blue eyes is certainly a Choice! call me sensitive but with the historical basis of that term, japan's continued attempts to erase that and other atrocities from that time period from its history, and the love interest literally being japanese (though one of the 'good' ones, and her heritage isn't expanded upon) it's really just insane levels of audacity

besides that. it suffered from a lot of typical first person YA issues, especially with the pov switches - i ended up not interested in either of the narratives and it sounded very impersonal at times.
