Somehow this makes me want to revisit To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and if anything, that thought means I need to return to playing Mass Effect again.
For real, though: it's fine so far. I'm interested in seeing where it's trying to go and what plot points will happen but oh boy. I feel like the age of shallow Becky Chambers impersonators is upon us...

I think people forget that the nice thing about something being unexpectedly soft is that this softness stands in contrast to the harshness of the rest of the world the story presents. If everything is soft...... Then the softness doesn't have the same impact. I'm not convinced by a world where everyone in space has a cozy sweater and leather and- wait did I pay enough attention to know if they can even farm???

Surely a great read for anyone who has never read a single work of sci-fi before (we're copying Changing Planes now without the critique of capitalism inherent to "Great Joy"????)

liveblogging this in code (referring to all characters by the names of their mass effect counterparts)

Okay, I'm less of a sceptic now. If this is just a station remodeling story, then I think this has the potential to be fun.

One gripe I do have: I really like reading sci-fi that brings something new to the table - new to me, new to the genre. The latter is probably tough (and hard for me to gauge) but God, this feels like a cousin to all the things I've read and played over the years. The only new thing so far has been the disclaimer that our protagonist had to make that artificial intelligence is actually a misnomer and that the technology can't be sentient, bla bla bla. Are we in that era of popular sci-fi now?
