The world was still sparkling. Even Diver was sparkling, bits of light jumping around his face and clinging to his hair. I giggled. “You’re sparkling, you know,” I told him, trying to remain solemn while laughter tickled my throat. “Did you go and turn into a vampire?”
I have been honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I had a bit of mixed feelings about Failure to Communicate and I wasn't even sure I wanted to continue with the series, but this was just so readable!
Once again, I'm writing this review way too late, so I don't remember as much as I would like to, but I was mostly reading this for the autistic rep - which was amazing in this one - and the polyamorous bisexual main character - which I have a bit mixed feelings about because there is way more interaction in the F-M department then the F-F department and that is pretty consistent in all the three books we have so far.
I also really loved the first contact part of the story and I really appreciate the ways Kaia Sønderby is trying to push against the colonialist language and structures that are so common in sci-fi (there is still military stuff though and that is pretty unquestioned). I really enjoyed this book and the whole series but it's definitely not something that would be for everyone....more

It was a very fun read, featuring a robbery, so showing a bit darker side of what these hoppers do than River of Teeth did. If you liked the rest of the series, this is a must-read, otherwise just a fun little read....more
This has some mixed reviews from my friends, but the blurb is giving me "Petunia Dursley actually done right" kind of vibes and I'm here for that!

Also, Sarah Gailey wrote it, obviously... am I becoming just a teensy tiny bit obsessed? Possibly...
