This was really good! Many hundreds of years after humanity fled earth, people live inside giant spacefaring creatures, traveling the stars and vaguely hoping to someday find a new planet to colonize. Certain plot elements don't hold up quite right, and the way men's rights are talked about in this matrilineal society are goofy, but overall I really liked the worldbuilding and characters, and I'm very curious to read the sequel.
