Genevieve Taylor, Boulder Book Store, Boulder, CO Fascinating world-building and an irresistibly cheeky main character. “If sword-wielding necromancer lesbians and a crumbling space-age palace aren’t enough to sell you on this book, then let yourself be won over by the hilarious sass and reckless determination of Gideon Nav.
