Was an absolute joy to read, thinking about how different peoples would interact and finding family rather than the one folks are born into. Going to reread this story again as it handled hard things in soft kind ways.

Racial slurs and racism are space racism and not real life racism/racist terms.

This is one of my favorite books I have ever read, and one of the best sci-fi novels of all time in my opinion. The story is compelling but the found family relationships are the real draw of the book. You will become attached to characters you didn’t expect to, and feel like part of the family yourself as the reader. The world building is fantastic and I felt like a tourist learning about strange and beautiful new places at times. I love this book.

There are some challenging themes especially near the end of the book surrounding war, conflict, colonialism and xenophobia. There is challenging content surrounding death and grief as well as memory loss. Cultural misunderstandings and cultural differences are central to the book, and I felt were generally approached very respectfully. Otherwise a lighthearted read.

What a lovely book! The detailed descriptions got a bit long-winded for me at times, hence four stars, but the characters were amazing! They make and drive the story, which I absolutely loved, making me laugh and cry, sometimes simultaneously. Definitely my kind of sci-fi.
