Not a perfect debut novel, but a solid and intriguing space opera, full of cruel, coward and calculating characters, even though one important part felt deja vu (a powerful family controls the production of the substance that enables space travel...). All in all, it was an enjoyable read.

Although it's an entertaining read, with plenty of intrigue, pirates and villains, I was not as taken by it as the first Locke Lamora novel.

At times funny, enraging and hard-hitting, this essay where Ovidie explains her sex strike should make everyone -- and especially straight cis-men -- think about their practice of love, sex and relationships.
