4.0

The main focus is on uncovering the complex but delightful world Chambers has created. This is done through several detours from the main plot and from the different perspectives of the crew members, both human and aliens.

I loved it so much there’s like literally no plot but it’s perfect. If you like spending time in a lovely, imaginative, expansive world with characters that feel like true friends, this book is for you.

I loved this book! It's super fun, thoughtful, and enjoyable. I found it to be a really great mix of adventure/plot, philosophical questions, and queer found family. It's a page-turner with a lot of heart, and I definitely want to keep reading the rest of the series.
