SciFi that doesn't get garbled - just genuinely likeable, diverse characters and adventures

I'm a slow reader. Like 2-3 chapters in an hour at top speed usually. And Science Fiction terms stick in my head sometimes, causing my brain to lag and try to process the weird names and terms for things making my reading even slower. So I was super surprised when I got over 240 pages read in the first 2 days of picking up this book. Finished it in one week! That's unheard of for me! I just got pulled in so easily and didn't want to put it down. Alien cultures and names, futuristic terms, but it's easy to follow and easy to get drawn in. It's a fun book that got me feeling all the feels and loving the crew of the Wayfarer. Looking forward to reading more books from the series now.

Incredible Character Driven Found Family

I loved this book. It feels like coming home. You grow to love the characters as they learn the love each other. I've been looking for stories with queer characters that isn't about being queer and this book is an incredible example of that.
