This book was a whirlwind of activity—a little overwhelming at times with its rapid shifts between characters, unraveling Demeter/Steward’s backstory, and the sheer variety of monsters. Despite this, it was highly entertaining, and I’m glad I stuck it out. The relationship between Agnus and Demeter was a sweet and grounding aspect amidst the chaos. I’m pleased to see hints that the author will continue the series, particularly exploring the planet the fish people sought, as that thread felt unresolved. Steve’s connection was an unexpected and amusing twist. Overall, it was an enjoyable and satisfying read.

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this ARC!

What an excellent high-concept story, full of queer love, sweet (at times murdery) robots, and mythical beings with attitudes. I loved the found family and how the story progressed. It took me a second to get settled in the POV changes but omg was it worth it, I LOVED all the new characters as they pop up throughout the story. The chapter titles made me chuckle. Really fun, can't wait for it to come out so I can make my friends read it!

This was such a good book. I loved the story and the writing so much. The characters were great and the story flowed smoothly. Will definitely read more books by this author in the future.

What a wild, fun, dark rollercoaster of a unique science fiction book. I had no idea what to expect from the cover and blurb, as this book looked so unique. It delivered. What you see is what you get.

This book is trippy, sad, funny, and I could not put it down. I could not stop thinking about this one and had to try to not inhale it, and ended up inhaling it anyways.

I heavily recommend this to science fiction and fantasy lovers. There isn't a heavy focus on science in this one, it's just a ton of fun with some darkness mixed in. If you are a tech nerd though, you will get double the enjoyment.

I'll be cherishing this story for a while and am excited to see it in stores. Thank you so much for allowing me an advanced reader copy of this art! I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thank you, Netgalley and the author for this book in exchange for an honest review!

I didn't know what to expect from this at first, truthfully. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this!
This gave me kind of Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy vibes. It was funny, serious, heartbreaking, heartwarming. Really, it was quite enjoyable.
I did find it hard to follow at times, and I feel like it was just a little too long. By the end, it kind of dragged. It was q good ending, though!

I thought this was so much fun! Space opera sci-fi with really personable AI's, AND classic monsters?! I ate it up. Can't wait until it's released so I can buy a pretty copy to keep on my shelf. 100% I'm definitely recommending this to customers.
