I was so here for the premise of this novella (who doesn’t love an intergalactic heist?) but the execution fell flat for me. It was much more interior and quiet than I anticipated based on the description and it fell into a lot of info dumping, particularly in the first half. I think it raised interesting points/questions about the nature of art and humanity and it definitely holds a mirror up to our current issues, as all good speculative fiction does. But it just didn’t ever quite click for me as a whole, unfortunately.
Thanks to netgalley and tordotcom for the arc!

This was a super fun concept executed well and I enjoyed it immensely!
Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream as a nonbinary reality TV producer whose job is to mess around with people's relationships is a genius character idea, and I loved all of the twists and modernizations made in this reimagining of the classic play. Shenanigans abound, naturally, and they're over the top without being out of the tone of the story.
I felt that the romance between Puck and Robyn was actually one of the weaker points of the story; they were great together but their resolution was a bit rushed at the end for my taste.
Overall though a really strong, enjoyable romcom caper that I recommend!
Thanks to Zando and NetGalley for the ARC 😘
