One word: cute!
Winter’s Orbit is a fun, character-focused space opera that does a wonderful job of balancing romance with interplanetary politics.
As someone who doesn’t read much sci-fi (or romance, for that matter), I enjoyed this book immensely. Maxwell writes with a great amount of emotional awareness. Her characters are lovable (and, boy, do I love them) and react realistically to the world(s) around them. The setting is interesting, but not complicated, and I would love to see it expanded.
It’s one of those novels that could easily become somebody’s comfort book.
