while the story started off slowly,, the world (GALAXY) building in this book was worth it. I also appreciate the diversity of the cast; if you are looking for queer characters, inter-species relationships, implied neurodivergence, and characters of color (though their race is undefined,) this is a great read! I look forward to continuing the series, as the ending of the book was where the true action picked up!
