This story was like a warm hug. It was like playing through the Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC for hours on end. It was a joy to spend time with all of these characters, and the found family dynamics are unmatched.

This is just as wonderful as everyone says it is. This sort of slice-of-life thing in a Sci-Fi setting really works for me, but it's the characters are really that shine here. If you love a big cast you can emotionally invest in, this is the book for you. I can see why some might find it a bit boring, but for me it was damn near perfect.
