A fabulous find. I read a review over at Smart Bitches, Trashy books (great book review site) and in keeping with the culinary themes which this book runs with Carrie S describes the characters as ingredients 
Ingredients:

A military leader with a mysterious past
A haunted gourmet restaurant on a space station
A chef with four arms
A receptionist with tentacles
An assistant chef who is a chimpanzee
A pastry chef who is, apparently, more or less a swan
Twin playful but deadly “magic-resistant were-lions”
An unreliable reptilian prophet
Inter-galactic politics
A food critic
A bio-ship who enjoys experiencing and cataloging new emotions
A lost princess
Pirates
Tragic romance
Found family
humor, angst, action, bonding
Sequel-bait
and I can't disagree. A story of found family in an intriguing universe that I look forward to exploring in the series.  That's my only not_really_a_complaint is that I can immediately start reading the next book.
