This book made my little mammal brain think real hard about social dynamics in a way I wasn't expecting. Seeing how such a variety of species and cultures interact, mingle, and function on such a large scale was wonderful and really helped put into perspective how even if you think you're open-minded and unbiased, you are still only a product of your own cultural upbringing and experiences. We all have blind spots and that's ok. What matters is how we deal with those blind spots when we're confronted with them, for better or worse.

The crew of the Wayfarer was an absolute delight to travel with. I absolutely loved Kizzy and Sissix, Dr. Chef was a genuine delight. And everyone they met along the way just added more color to their adventure. 

There were times that I felt the story took a back seat to the interpersonal ship dynamics--like it felt like there should have been more dealings or context with the Toremi Ka, or follow up from that. The story getting to that point was so rich and then the ending almost felt rushed after? I know there are subsequent sequels/follow up books as well, but I kind of wanted more before this one wrapped up. I think I'll enjoy checking back in on the crew of the Wayfarer again, but I'm not running to my library to request the next one, you know?
