Ok, SB Divya, I see you.  I was absolutely blown away by this book. If you love sci-fi epics like Murderbot, A Memory Called Empire, or Ancillary Justice - this should be your next read. It's so expansive and has all the excitement that space travel and new discoveries have to offer. The characters are so fleshed out, real, flawed and go on gorgeous, intimate and personal journeys as the story progresses. So much of the world-building is intricately designed - the author clearly has a background in science - but I never felt overwhelmed by the scientific elements and it never felt like info-dumping. The science part of the science fiction was layered in seamlessly. I'm about to be putting this book in everyone's hands!!
