Diversity meets science fiction. Humans took to space and learned humility as one of the minor species in the Galactic Council. Intercultural awareness gains a new meaning, calling a reptiloid species lizards is derogatory. One species is addressed as "they", unknown ones as "xer". There are love interests between a human and an AI and a human and an alien. Feelgood positive characters, nice worldbuilding, shallow.

While mostly lauded for its characters, I'm a bit bummed. The characters are simply too positive. So understanding, so excellent in their field. The supposed main character Rosemary remains pale compared to some of the others. Then, out of nowhere she has fallen in love with Sissix (a reptiloid) and they get intimate. But instead of raunchy details, we get sweet words. The world-building remains a strength though.
