This book! It is a beautiful intersection of science fiction and romance. The romance is not overpowering or cheesy. There are a few moments early book where you might go (barely a spoiler, but abundance of caution spoiler cut)

”…really? Just talk already.” We don’t need a “this could all be solved with one conversation trope.

But overall the characters grow as appropriate and tropes of several varieties are skirted past. I love the world building, especially with regards to gender norms. So nice to see non-binary and non heteronormativity as standard and it is done so fluidly too. Little gestures like “Prince” being a generalized title like modern use of “actor” - no gender indication present. 
I loved it. Everything about it. Might count it as a new favorite. Will definitely read more from this author in the future.
