Ciel Pierlot's Bluebird
So this is a sci fi book about a woman who has a very Sabine Wren backstory--she's super smart and was trained as a weapons inventor by one of the big galactic powers (there are three in this world), but after creating a weapon that could be used on her own (minority) people, she takes her plans and flees, eventually becoming a REBEL! Or, well, part of a group of thieves and smugglers who also rescue refugees. Along the way she also gets a librarian girlfriend, and in this universe librarians are important, so I'm here for it. But now the powerful people have tracked her down and they want her weapon plans, AND they're holding her sister hostage! Good thing she just befriended a mysterious assassin with plans of her own. I will say the plot kind of falters in the second half, there are some frustratingly stupid character moments, and though I loved the assassin's story, the rest wasn’t super satisfying. Cool worldbuilding though. B.
