Lesbian gunslinger fights spies in space! Three factions vie for control of the galaxy. Rig, a gunslinging, thieving, rebel with a cause, doesn’t give a damn about them and she hasn’t looked back since abandoning her faction three years ago. That is, until her former faction sends her a message: return what she stole from them, or they’ll kill her twin sister. Rig embarks on a journey across the galaxy to save her sister – but for once she’s not alone. She has help from her network of resistance contacts, her taser-wielding librarian girlfriend, and a mysterious bounty hunter. If Rig fails and her former faction finds what she stole from them, trillions of lives will be lost--including her sister's. But if she succeeds, she might just pull the whole damn faction system down around their ears. Either way, she’s going to do it with panache and pizzazz.

For a debut novel, this is fantastic. The characters, the rep, the fast-paced action, the cover, and more!? Just read it already! The lesbian protag definitely hooked me, but the rest of the book kept me glued to the pages. It's a fairly decent length but the plot moves along well, and despite some bumps in the road and places where the narrative feels a little rough, I truly enjoyed this debut and will absolutely keep an eye on Pierlot.
There's a lot (!!!) of dialogue of this nature:
???That easy? Seriously????
???I???m always serious. Can???t you tell???? He gestures to his smarmy smirk. ???This is my serious face.???
...and if that's your kind of dialogue/humour and you are excited about lesbian gunslingers in space, go read this immediately.
It's not quite my style, so my 3 stars are very, very subjectively based on that. But I'm all in for more queer female characters in sff novels.
