Many of the Korps books I've read so far have been slow to medium paced, allowing time for touching explorations of trans identity in an oppressive superpowered world. Dissolution, meanwhile, is undoubtedly fast-paced, but still manages to pack in those explorations.

Any fan of the other Korps Universe novels, or readers who are looking for a unique spin on the superhero genre, would do well to pick this book up. Especially if they enjoy fast-paced, action packed thrill rides.
