Underrated Sapphic Space Operas (if you liked Locked Tomb...) [Subtitled]

Three amazing queer space operas I stumbled upon. All of them have wlw couples, and two also prominently feature disabled characters.

Kind of a mix between a review and a recommendation, so I don't say bigger spoilers.

Sorry for the background footage recordings being out of order, sadly I only noticed it as it was already to late to do anything about it. Also sorry about the audio being so bad, I tried out a new recording technique as preparation for a future project (camera recording instead of phone audio recording), and it didn't work out well. If you know how to fix this audio, please let me know.

1. A Memory Called Empire - Arkady Martine
2. The Risen Empire + The Killing of Worlds - Scott Westerfeld
3. Failure To Communicate - Kaia Sonderby
