Joey shares:
“It is a futuristic sci-fi book where the main character escapes her old, sheltered life and finds adventure in the vast galaxy. The real draw is the diverse set of characters, all of which have intriguing development arcs. I love the implementation of the progressive diversity, where none of the characters feels like the virtue signals or stereotypes, but instead like real people. Even though it’s a sci-fi book, it draws from actual theoretical physics to explain the futuristic technology which I’m always a fan of.”
