I got a lot of Mass Effect-ish vibes from this when it came to the various alien species that Chambers introduced to us. It was great, though now I'm playing Mass Effect Andromeda again so maybe it sent me down a dark path.
Chambers excels in details, the world building is absolutely fantastic. And the pacing? I would say that aside from some bits of action and quite a few emotional punches, it was a bit of a cozy sci-fi.
The crew of the Wayfarer are amazing, I loved them all, even if I didn't like them all. They all had such different backgrounds and not because they were different species but because they came from all different family situations and lives, they all became family on the Wayfarer.
So, pacing a bit slow but it's about the journey, plot was there too but with lots of little stories to get there and characters and world were amazing.
5/5 HUGE cups of coffee from me, now I'm off to go play some ME Andromeda lol.
