It's a been a while since I read a book in only a few days ☺️
Now where's the second part?
Hi I'm Jules,
I read a lot of disability related more academic stuff and then mostly queer fantasy, science fiction / speculative fiction to relax.
I read mostly e-books for accessibility reasons. So if you're interested in a book on my lists, just send me a DM. I can point you to sources or just send it over.

There's a sequel and while I had mixed feelings about the book along the way, I really wanna know how the story evolves. I liked many things about this book, but it was a bit boring at times with all the political maneuvers. The style made up for it, because you have to think along to get things, so I never turned my brain off completely 😅
It's just too annoying, I don't have unlimited time in this earth.
And the reading of the audio book is extra bad. Like why would you make them talk like machines from the 80s, this is bad.
I'm not sure if there will be a good ending that makes up for it but I fear there's not.
Do not recommend. Interesting world building aspects and neopronouns don't make up for the terrible love story.
After a very long break I'm finally finishing this one off by reading the last chapter about disability in popular college films and I'm once again appalled by US culture.
Not that we don't have enough shit going on over here as well, it just seems less ... in your face horrible.
I think this book is even more important for allo people to read than it is for aces. Seriously, if you never thought and learned about asexuality, this would be a great way to start.
For me personally it was not much new stuff. But there were still interesting and thought provoking bits here and there. And it got better towards the end.
I'm not doing star ratings but it's a worthwhile read!
Okay, I have no idea where this is going. Things changed and the worldbuilding is still interesting. But that's the only thing really.
The love stuff (now in the form of whining) is still annoyingly boring and it's like 90% inner monologue and self pity and repetitive... ugh. I'm having a really hard time not quitting.
A bit clumsy and obvious when it came to setting the social parameters with everyone that will be involved.
But I do enjoy the worldbuilding and how our two main characters get to know each other.
It is all very not dramatic so far, although there's a lot of potential. I'm curious to see if that's going to chance now they arrived on the planet.
