Description

Somewhere on the outer rim of the universe, a mass of decaying world-ships known as the Legion is travelling in the seams between the stars. For generations, a war for control of the Legion has been waged, with no clear resolution. As worlds continue to die, a desperate plan is put into motion. Zan wakes with no memory, prisoner of a people who say they are her family. She is told she is their salvation - the only person capable of boarding the Mokshi, a world-ship with the power to leave the Legion. But Zan's new family is not the only one desperate to gain control of the prized ship. Zan must choose sides in a genocidal campaign that will take her from the edges of the Legion's gravity well to the very belly of the world. Zan will soon learn that she carries the seeds of the Legion's destruction - and its possible salvation.

The Legion is wonderfully fucked up. Things are biological and mostly gross, but that's great because the world(s) come alive thanks to pretty excellent worldbuilding. It was really refreshing to read about a fully biological SF world again and I thought this was by far the strongest aspect of the book. And some of the things the author came up with (e.g. the method for printing spare parts) are ... mind-bending. What wasn't very fun were the characters. They're every bit as fucked up as the world. But i didn't enjoy them as much. Almost every single character is stuck in a cycle of abuse. And even then I didn't really manage to care about any of them, which was a letdown. The story also didn't really grab me as much as i'd hoped. It's an amnesia fueled adventure story to save the world and the characters finding things they need or lost. It was ok.
