My rating: 4.5 stars
My thoughts:

Plot: 3 stars
Here's another of those quiet books that aren't heavy on the plot but pack a punch (like Eliza and Her Monsters and The Cure for Dreaming). One thing about the plot really bothered me, though:

Spoiler

Carys came up out of nowhere. I really, really needed more explanation and foreshadowing for that.

There's also the fact the plot is very similar to Eliza and Her Monsters' plot. I enjoyed Radio Silence a bit more though, even though I liked both.

Characters: 5.5 stars (is that a thing? No? Who cares?)
ALL THE CHARACTERS IN THIS BOOK ARE MY BABIES AND I'D FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR THEM IF I NEEDED TO. I know I need to be more logical and analytical right now. Do I care? No.

Writing: 5 stars
The writing is so good, just perfect.

Setting: 4 stars
Honestly, I don't remember the setting much, but what I do remember was pretty well-done.

Other: 5 stars
You want to know what the very best things about this glorious book are? Well, here they are:
1. Universe City
2. Frances and Aled's relationship.
3. All the representation and diversity!!!!

Do I recommend it? Heck yes.

Note: I only read this once, but some Goodreads glitch is saying I read it twice but when I try to fix that it won't let me, so I thought I should mention that to make things less confusing.
