This was so much fun. The characters were great, the action was perfect, the found family was heartwarming. I think it could have used a little bit stricter editing. More than once a character is mentioned who wasn't currently in the scene and there's jumping between different perspectives so quickly that it can be confusing. But overall, I really liked it and can't wait to continue.

I got this book through Netgalley for free in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book as an exploration of found family in space. If you break down the main plot of the book it feels deceptively simple, however each character and interaction together is so rich that there's no way it could ever truly be described that way. Each character has their own separate motivations and it starts to become clear that not all of them align. I loved the inclusion of food and the idea of how cooking changes in a world that has replicators. I was fascinated by the ship itself. The idea of a bioship that's matched with intelligence and what that means for it's autonomy. I love a good found family in space book and this managed to hit all those notes and include some fun galactic politics. Can't wait to see where the rest of this story goes.
