There are some heart strings being played, their identities, including being a same sex couple, are never performative or fetishized. Lingyi and Iris are a bit more fleshed out as a couple, their dynamics more integral to the story. It’s another fun and subversive young adult story for cyberpunk, and, as the cover suggests, it centers some other characters, which was welcome. Storefronts and filters that clean the air, as well as new, high-end real estate, means that Jin and his company is poised to more than recoup their losses. while also making a lot of money, of course. Jin corp is building a superstructure meant to help with that pollution…. The move to Shanghai is compelling and a breath of fresh air (ha!), except not really, as it’s similarly polluted. Her father is up to no good yet again, and before the crew is able to heal fully, they must pull together to protect each other and, hopefully, deal another blow to Jin. This culminates into a mystery with Jin corp somehow at the center, placing Daiyu in a situation where her loyalty and familial bonds are tested. When Lingyi flies to Shanghai to helps an estranged childhood friend, the gang becomes embroiled in another corporate plot that centers Jason’s, now a girlfriend of sorts, Daiyu. This novel picks up right after Want, where the fallout of their heist against Jin Corp is felt amongst the group in different ways.Īll grieving their friend in different ways, all fractured by the loss-they are given little time to cope. Ruse is a continuation of Want, which I’ve written about before. CW: Spoilers for Want, the prequel to Ruse.
