(one of the writers?)#I think that helped me anticipate the vibe #definitely high on the witty bickering. i can sense the podcast-writer in the dialogue #which is not a bad thing for me but might not be for everyone #it's not afraid to have some space opera silliness but also some serious about inequality and dissolving empires #natalie naudus audio narration always a win #sapphic books #also queer people everywhere!#and like a language in which I pronoun signifies gender
