From the category of stories can be either Mirrors or Windows this "Ocean's 8 meets Blade Runner in this trail-blazing debut science fiction novel and swashbuckling love letter to Hawai'i about being forced to find a new home and striving to build a better one" is definitely a Windows for me (unsurprisingly given its amazing queer, nonbinary author) and I am all the better for having read it. It’s a science fiction caper/heist and I was resisting the temptation to skip parts which were suggestive of our protagonist Edie being betrayed (again) because I didn't want to read the heartbreak. The protagonist and his family is heartfelt, believable and so worthy that I wanted everything to work out, inspite of all the moving parts to the plan, inspite of the forces arrayed against them, cursing the almost inevitable betrayal, Can't ask for more than that in my caper stories.
