This was such a sweet, heartbreaking story (in some places, overall it’s a triumph). It really finds its legs half way through the book and doesn’t let up until the ending , excellent pacing and world building. Sweet characters that you want to root for it just so nice to read a book like this that, while it has dark moments, is not just grim dark for the sake of grim dark. The heavier elements of the story help you understand the character’s motivations and why they do what they do.
A lovely ending to a well crafted sci-fi story.
