Oh, what a joy. After finally picking this up after roughly 10000 recommendations, I can soundly say that everyone is right, this book rules. I love a found family trope, I love science fiction that is loosey-goosey with the science portion of it all, I love it when humans are not the pinnacle of existence. It's just a beautiful book all around.

Hitchhiker’s Guide meets Firefly. I loved the characters and world building. However, most of the speciest/racist parallels were a little heavy-handed. Still a very fun read despite that.
