Very descriptive, very complicated world to keep track of. Surprisingly poignant for a book about Eurovision in space.

Absolutely, mind-blowingly stunning. Hilarious and amazing. Very much in the vein of Douglas Adams but with a Eurovision music twist, plus a lot more exploration of minority identity, belonging, and sexuality. If you love science fiction and love comedy, you need to give this book a try. The language might be a bit odd or difficult in some places, but go through it again a few times and it reveals its brilliance. Going to be thinking about this one for a long time.
