Kiem is baby. That’s it. I will take no arguments. For a sci-fi its good, a little basic, but all the bases are covered. I thought the idea of the Tau Field to be interesting, but I could have used some more explanation of the politics within the world.

If you want a sci-fi mystery this one is perfect. A political arranged marriage, who did-it, casual queerness and a intergalactic world.
It was rough to read through Jainan and his character arc, recovering from an abusive relationship  and being used and forced into a new one.   Kiem however is the best cinnamon roll, awkward and open to understanding character though all of this. This spoiler is related to later chapters and Jainan's past abuse. 
 

There is a point where the story takes a dark turn and you see Jainan's  past abusive from his late husband during a sexual scene, public humiliations, silent punishments and gaslighting.
