If you accepted that the world would let you down, you could protect it without being surprised when it stung.” “Easier to just assume everybody was out to get you than assume otherwise and have them prove you wrong. With the help of a pirate crew, her mentor on the force, and a very crooked cop, it’s up to Yat to stop a destructive force that’s been thousands of years in the making. She quickly realizes that something is wrong in Hainak. But after stumbling on a corpse and getting shot in the head, she mysteriously wakes up at the same place she died, with a strange new ability to sense the threads in all living things. In reality, she’s been demoted for getting caught in a raid at a gay bar, feels demoralized by the corruption in the ranks, and lives paycheck to paycheck because of self-medicating with drugs to deal with her anxiety and PTSD. Yat lived on the streets of Hainak after the death of her father, and joined the police force with the lofty goal of helping other kids like her. While this is the first in a series, enough is resolved to give it a very satisfactory ending. It’s weird and sort of wonderful and while parts didn’t work for me, the ones that did worked really, really well. It’s like mashing a noir detective novel with a queer pirate fantasy and adding in a dash of horror. I don’t even know how to begin describing this book.
