this book has
>> consensual touching in any form of relationship (platonic, romantic, etc): they always ask, no matter what, before proceeding
>> neopronoun positivity! several of the alien species have citizens that use neopronouns, and with the makvarians (a species of humanoids) there is even a biological third gender that can be chosen before/during puberty!!
>> romance, trans positivity, queer acceptance!!

will add more later if i remember!!

Ok, my review game has been off for a bit, so excuse me if I'm a tad rusty. I had an ARC copy of this book, with what is truly the most stunning cover (not the one here), and I picked it up for that reason, and for its author. I'm picky about my YA, especially sci-fi, so that was probably not the best plan. I'm sure that the final copy of this book is a good time. The world-building and characters are fun, although the story leaves something to be desired. But altogether with it being an ARC, it was a eh from me.
