Episode 83: Ascension by Jacqueline Koyanagi

Published: Aug. 7, 2020, 5 a.m.

Andi and Lise greatly admire Jacqueline Koyanagi\u2019s novel Ascension, an excellent space opera with elements of magic and mystic-ness layered in. Great diverse cast of characters; queer WOC main character who also deals with a chronic illness; fabulous world-building. This one stays with you in many different ways.

\u201cAlana Quick is the best damned sky surgeon in Heliodor City, but repairing starship engines barely pays the bills. When the desperate crew of a cargo vessel stops by her shipyard looking for her spiritually-advanced sister Nova, Alana stows away. Maybe her boldness will land her a long-term gig on the crew. But the Tangled Axon proves to be more than star-watching and plasma coils. \u2026\u201d \u2013from Amazon book description

Lise\u2019s shout-out: super see-krit new project she\u2019s working on but she\u2019s not sharing it yet! Plus, finishing up via Netflix the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Andi\u2019s shout-out: Wynonna Earp Season 4, people! Episode 2, \u201cFriends in Low Places,\u201d has what Andi predicts is a history-making F/F love/sex scene (and no, that\u2019s not a link to the scene LOL).
