How do I rate this? I was really enjoying this story and then it just stopped.

Melin is a disabled, retired soldier. With no prospects and very little hope, she decides to relocate to the ancestral home of her great-grandmother. A decorated – but discarded – war hero, she takes a job sorting inventory.

This book has some stellar rep. The MC battles PTSD. She's got an ex-wife, so is presumably either lesbian or bi/pan. The story revolves around colonial oppression of an indigenous population. She builds a strong friendship with another disabled ex-soldier.

But it's not a book. A book has a beginning, a catalyst, some stuff happening, and then a climax and a resolution. This book has a beginning, a catalyst, some stuff happening, and then … it just stops.

Can I read the next book? No, because it doesn't exist. It's not even on pre-order. Gah!

By the time it lands, will I still remember this one? Hopefully. But who knows.
