I really enjoyed this book!
It is a sci-fi story about a commoner girl who is out for revenge on the noble family that had her mother assassinated.
She joins a tournament that is essentially space jousting on giant robotic steeds.
Synali's point of view is very sad and lonely. Her goal is to destroy the noble house that killed her mom, and then be put to rest to join her.
It ended on a cliffhanger, so I can't wait for the next book.

A unique approach to a story of migration, refugees. Not so much a portal fantasy as a quiet meditation on how the world might or might not change, how people might or might not change, if doors opened into other parts of our world, rather than onto other worlds.
For all that an event like that could be considered large scale, the story itself feels small-scale in its focus primarily on two individuals. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/3 Every day life punctuated by reminders of the threat of violence, surveillance, of lurking oppression and prejudice, shifting into people-powered possibilities, new community, new solutions. The contrast of comfort found in religion and tradition and culture, with the ways it can exclude those who do not wish to participate or are not born into it. 20m
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 I'm very grateful the novel went the direction it did, it feels like the most compassionate, clear-eyed vision available.

⚠️ violence, suicidal ideation, SA, misogyny

I liked this book. I felt like singing the song Poor Unfortunate Souls though while reading this book. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

I‘m not feeling especially hygge right now, but I‘m eating spaghetti and reading the tagged book. Meanwhile, I also have the football game on the TV. Those eye searing red uniforms aren‘t very hygge either. #hyggehourreadathon
