This is the kind of sci fi I love! So many lady characters but no sexual assault. Canon gay characters with no homophobia. No boring white men playing politics. Just a bunch of goofballs in space doing their best! Also a tall Lizard-Bird lady alien! What more could you want???

Lighthearted, fun, space-faring romp. A little shallow, but characters with room to grow in future installments. 

• “Humans’ preoccupation with ‘being happy’ was something he had never been able to figure out. No sapient could sustain happiness all of the time, just as no one could live permanently within anger, or boredom, or grief.” 
•  “Ninety percent of all problems are caused by people being assholes.”
  “What causes the other ten percent?” asked Kizzy.
  “Natural disasters,” said Nib.” 
•  “Do not judge other species by your own social norms.”
