I’m not a sci-fi person but this book is probably one of my new favorites forever? It’s not a “save the entire universe” plot but closer to a slice of life on a spaceship. The world-building is extremely in depth and balances introducing you to it without info-dumping in huge blocks or leaving you feel like an outsider to the world because you don’t know what any of the nouns are like some others in the genre. I also love the diverse characters in not only physical descriptions but beliefs, personalities, and queer representation (space gays!). Super excited to continue reading the series!
