Jam packed with action, wit and positive representation.
The World building is immense, so much thought has been put into the history and the plethora of cultures. Such a fully fleshed out galaxy really pulls the reader in.
The only reason this story doesn't get the full 5 stars from me is that I felt there was so much information loaded in straight from the go, that some of the connections between characters seemed rushed. I felt some characters didn't get their chance to shine and some relationships were fast tracked so quickly that it didn't feel as genuine as it should have.
But I did really enjoy the book and look forward to the sequel.

I loved the world building of the galaxy and alien races, as well as the questions Tina has to answer for herself about what her destiny really is. I think this is the best YA science fiction I've read in a really long time.
I won't spoil the ending, but it invokes one of my favorite tropes in science fiction, and I can't wait to see where the series goes next.
