A twisty romp through time and its implications, without ever traveling through time. Some really fascinating scientific experimentation concepts, lovely world-building, a flawed but lovable narrator, an actual PLOT, and a feel-good ending. What more could you want?

I’ve enjoyed these two books by Natasha Pulley. I’m intrigued by the premise of her other book “mars house” as being also queer sci-fi. The queer in these two was so incredibly subtle / seen another way, so incredibly foundational — they hardly even read as queer books to me.
