The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord

4.0

I wish the goodreads system allowed for decimals; I'd definitely give this is 3.5 stars. Overall, the world-building was thorough and unique enough to set this book apparent from other universes (e.g. Star Trek, Star Wars) while still allowing it to be accessible to any reader. The romance is subtle enough to allow the sci-fi themes to standout, but sweet enough to be believable. My only nitpick was that the main character occasionally drifted into Mary Sue territory, especially during dialogue. The other characters were strong enough to ground her, though, which made the book relatable. Recommended to those who enjoy a light romance and a lot of sci-fi.
