4.5/5
Cosy sci-fi is probably one of my new favourite genres. Following the crew of the Wayfarer, the reader comes to know and love them as they journey through the universe.
- The characters are the focus of the story and I enjoyed how different and faceted they were. Each one was different and distinct. I also really enjoyed the multispecies aspects and the physiological and cultural differences each had. My favourite part was finding out who Sissix's feather family were.
- The world-building was amazing and felt so real. I could spend literal years learning more about the universe in this book and never get bored.
- I loved the inclusivity of the book. Some was overt (love the default of xe/zyr pronouns when you don't know someone's) and others were just normal and unremarked upon.
I've already started A Closed and Common Orbit and am loving it already. For lovers of casual sci-fi and cosy immersive books.
