Reception

[edit]

In her review for Apex Magazine, Marissa van Uden called the novella "a poetic story about exploitation, stolen histories, and friendship", praising how the humorous dialogue creates realistic characters.[3] Locus's review by Adrienne Martini celebrated it as "a barely controlled scream about power and abuse that infuriates and satisfies."[4]
