Lives of Bitter Rain by Adrian Tchaikovsky
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Honestly, while I'm almost always for an expansion to good worldbuilding, I sometimes wonder what the purpose in some might be. In this particular case, it's a subtle exploration of colonialism and the slippery slopes from within the belly of the beast.

And that's just it. Good for what it is, and if you enjoyed this this side character in book 2, she definitely gets a fuller treatment here.

But for me? I was somewhat meh about the story. Win some, lose some. Definitely a tale for the completionist in us.
