- Y'all know I love a Gays In Space book, and A Pale Light In The Black is super queer. Named on the page we have asexual, bisexual, lesbian, gay, nonbinary and trans characters, plus poly and disability rep as well.
- There's a lot going on in this book, with the crew both training for the annual Boarding Games competition between space military branches, their regular missions, and the mystery that's hounding them. It made for a lot to keep track of, and things started off slow with so many people and ranks and relationships to learn. It took about 200 pages to get to the meat of the plot, but toward the end things really picked up.
- The universe Wagers has built is fascinating, and I hope to see both aspects of the setting and some of the secondary characters expanded on in the next book.

Space gays are my favorite gays.
Rep: Latine/x female CO in a WLW relationship with two children, biracial asexual female MC, polyamorous bisexual female MC, side character that loses an arm, nonbinary side characters. Very queer normative world.
CWs: Alcohol consumption, blood, death, kidnapping, medical content, murder, violence, past mentions of child abuse/neglect and emotional abuse (parent/children), religious bigotry, stalking, sexual content (mainly lots of innuendo).
