A hard sci-fi spaceship story that, surprisingly, has more biosciences than physics. Also social sciences and a world that feels rich and interesting, even if it's far away from the actual events. Very much my jam.
(Oh look, I finally found a way to post my score AND review while posting. I'm not stupid no.)
So the main plot is kind of my jam, which made me ultimattely give this book three stars. Interstellar diplomacy with subspecies of humanity actually felt kind of sci-fi, and once I realised that Earth is basically a stupid banana republic of little consequence the story started making more sense. But oh how I disliked the narrator protagonist, the whiny diplomat with the emotional maturity of a 16-year old, and everything related to his relationship stupidities. He was so unbelievably annoying that I probably will not check out any other books, even though I'd kind of like to see where the big story goes.
