Space opera, Good, fast paced, plot driven, potentially Cozy leaning — The stakes never feel too high, although it doesn’t give off enough warm fuzzies for actual cozy.
I would probably put it in the 3.5-3.75 star range. I liked it and enjoyed it, but it’s not something I will come back to again and again. The characters are lovable, but pretty surface level in the sense that I connected with them without getting deeply attached.
It brings up intriguing ideas of AI and how “they” impact our geopolitical systems, psychology and sociology.
The only negative thing, and it’s small, is that the author wanted to be so inclusive that the language/description felt forced, almost manufactured rather than the natural flow of the story. It was obviously meant well just not well executed! The pronouns, physical descriptions, sexual orientation were all there - spelling it out seemed to be written for a less intuitive audience.
