I love this series. Recommended for anyone with an interest in sci-fi who wants to see what sci-fi is when it's not written by old white men. These are light-hearted and easy, enjoyable books with interesting characters and plots. The second book is still my favorite but I will continue to look forward to and read these as they come out.

As with the previous book in the series (Record of a Spaceborn Few), there are some interesting relationships and issues touched on, but ultimately the book feels more like the author's worldbuilding notes than anything else.
