The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles by Malka Older

The novella The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles by Malka Older was amazing! It's the sequel to The Mimicking of Known Successes. This time, Mossa and Pleiti investigate several disappearances from the Valdegeld University, which is located on one of Jupiter's platforms.

This story successfully mixes mystery and science fiction. I also love how the author uses subtly modified English, with more loanwords for example, to reflect that this takes place in the future.

There's major f/f. For more LGBT Quick Reads, check out my rec list.
