Lesbians in space; the walls are made of flesh

Was expecting a rollicking SF story and while this book is definitely that, it's almost as much horror as SF. So much body horror from the living ships to the casual womb swapping to the horror of childbirth. This book is not for the faint hearted.

That said, The Stars Are Legion is full of powerful messages about bodily autonomy, personhood and choosing your own destiny that make this very much a book for our times.
