![Banquet: Lesbian Science Fiction Space Opera (Lesbians in Space Book 1) by [Ramie, Adan]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/411Ul4qRI9L._SY346_.jpg)
This book was somewhat strange, but I liked it. I particularly liked the inner voice of the protagonist; I enjoyed watching her react to things.
The setting was lighter sci-fi; with everything being thrown at you with a minimum of background, explanation, and description. It worked for the story, but don't expect Weber-ish information dumps here. This isn't a complaint, necessarily, as I never had trouble picturing the scene or what was going on. Overall they probably contributed to the brisk nature of the story.
Plot wise, things got pretty strange. Without spoiling things, it worked, but it was also pretty surreal. It was also somewhat dark.
Honestly, I enjoyed it, and I'll probably take a look at the other things the author has written.
