1. First of all, the novel is set on a ship in space 325 years into the future, yet there is no advanced technology, most people are uneducated and everyone acts like they’re stuck in 19th century. Oh yes, and religion plays a huge role (how I am tired of it). Not something I expect from scifi but maybe that’s just me.
2. Ultimately, it is a book about racism in space (accent on racism), not about space traveling, life on a space ship, not even about the future. Nothing like that. Imagine “The Handmaid’s Tale” but in a closed space and you’ll get something close to “An Unkindness of Ghosts”.
3. The message couldn’t be more in your face.

The representation is everything I want in one book. Labels aren't explicitly stated (mostly because they don't exist in this world) but there is a black queer intersex character who seems to be autistic and a trans character with OCD and they own my heart. I want to keep reading forever because it hurts to leave them behind.
Be warned: I thought this was mainly an adventure story with discrimination as a background setting. It's very much in your face though.

This books setting deals with slavery and all the trauma and abuses that come with it. Difficult to determine which levels to put certain themes, as a lot is implied rather than explicitly stated/described but may still be triggeringfloralhellscape's review against another edition
