Unexpected emotional space romp!
I wasn't expecting a cozy little space opera focused on the stories of the crew. The world building was fantastic. Whilst I nornally love a deep dive more into the history and politics of the various alien species, I was happy to focus on the characters.
I love that each character got to have a voice, and there were some interesting choices they each made.
All speculative fiction doesn't need to be hard. I enjoyed how compassionate the characters were, even in some ways not easily understood.
I really needed a story like this right now.
