This one was interesting. I put it in my tbr because it was an Ohio author. While I feel there might be some Early inaccuracies, (where I think the second abandoned factory is has been torn down for a stadium since publishing,) it was a solid biker book. Everyone having different anxieties felt legit.

The gender reversals were interesting and gave some cliches more oomph.

I will say though, that it doesn't end like a lot of biker movies. I'll just say that there is room for a sequel.

@klara@wandering.shop Linux?

I kinda hate magnify as the answer to "too small." I want one or two things bigger, (scroll bars,) not everything.

Um. Those tend to not be good things.

Also, I vibe the most with Margot. Aside from the military thing, She seems the closest to how I'd be in that situation.

(no military for me in part thanks to my dad lambasting it as he was drafted.)

One of the things this book revolves around is meeting the expectations of/resisting against the characters' parents. I suppose that is something that one is more acutely concerned with when you're in your late teens/early twenties.

Though sitting here shy of forty, I suppose one knows by now if they have it or not. Though I can't say it's not still a subconscious concern.

Hm.

Now, I mostly read queer genre fiction, but I run into ansibles surprisingly often. I wonder if they are as common in straight sci fi.

Le Guin made her mark regardless.

Book three of the novelization of Girl Genius continues it's witty, madcap take on Frankenstein. The novels continue to expand on areas glossed over by the webcomic, detailing what might have been in the background of one or two panels, occasionally adding something entirely new.

I would suggest reading the webcomic first at www.girlgeniusonline.com/

So, a gay space biker book. Not my usual. The biker part at least.

I do notice that I have a few archetypes for female characters in my head. Zarya Overwatch or that buff robot woman from Questionable Content, a friend of mine if on the skinny side, And Mokoto Kusanagi's haircut.

Margot came up as Zarya, but as I read, I don't think that's it. She's ex navy, but sounds more with the sliders in the middle, with maybe the buff one a little higher.

My first thought was she's short because being on an enclosed naval [space]ship would probably warrant being small, but given that she's a "Lunatic", (person from the Moon, love the name,) maybe she is tall.
