The space backdrop allows for some great stunts and action scenes, and the story unironically makes use of some well-worn space-opera tropes. The politics of the world that Skrutskie creates are just complex enough to feel real, without being hard to follow in a book that focuses mainly on its characters rather than its setting. The book begins at breakneck speed, as Ettian is forced to pull off a heroic rescue mission to save Gal from rebels still loyal to Ettian’s broken planet. Ettian has a will-they-won’t-they relationship with Gal, a fellow pilot. Bonds of Brass, a queer space opera by Emily Skrutskie, might be just the novel you need if living on Earth really isn’t doing it for you right now.īonds of Brass tells the story of Ettian Nassun, an ace pilot trained by the empire that conquered his home planet.
