This is a Star Wars book about two kids from the Outer Rim who go into the Imperial Fleet and eventually realize the Empire is horrible. I enjoyed it! The romance was okay, but I could take it or leave it—what I enjoyed about the book was the gradual realization of what they were actually working for and their different reactions to it.
Exhalation by Ted Chiang (2019)
Short story collection. I'd read maybe half of these before, but I always find Chiang's stories thought-provoking and was happy to reread. Recommended!
