I am quite pleased that my unequivocal enjoyment of this book means that my previous reads this month were just not very good - not that I'm having trouble enjoying anything.

I like the story, very much just the kind of sci-fi I've been looking for with actual good aliens. (There's some bad ones, too, but it's not the humans = good & aliens = bad that I've come across way too often lately in sci-fi.)

My only real problems are a couple of minor, super nitpicky things and a couple scenes that I really, really hated. (But, look, Xandri hated those scenes too, so I'm in good company.)

Side note: I feel a slow building, bisexual, poly triad in the works. I am here for this.
