Ocean's Godori is a space opera that has been compared to Becky Chambers and Firefly, and it definitely delivered. This is Elaine Cho's debut, and I found it to be very fascinating and magnetic work! We follow Ocean Yoon, who is an elite pilot; however, her career with the Alliance (the Korean agency that dominates the system) seems to be coming to an end after an incident. Her best friend, Teo, is framed for murder, and she will risk everything to save him. We also follow Haven, who is Mortemian and a new medic on the ship. The storylines start independently and Cho weaves them together in interesting ways. The book was a bit slow to start but the pacing ramped up and was so engaging. The world building was revealed in layers, and the writing was so compelling. I found the characters to be endearing, well rounded, and wonderful to follow, and I did not want to put this book down. The book does end rather abruptly, but it made sense for the story and made me eager to start the next book in the series. I highly recommend this one!
