Definitely not what I was expecting but loved it none the lesser! I walked in ready for a queer space adventure and got all that with a deep political scandal and incredibly diverse world building. I think the only sore spot I had with this book is wishing there were more soft moments mixed in with the political unrest and domestic trauma but again I think that's more on my end expecting this to be a simpler feel good read as opposed to the more emotionally charged story it was. I had some difficulty keeping up with all the more minor characters but I dont think that was supposed to fill any voids in story but to instead enhance maybe certain scenes. Great story overall!
