The vibes in this book were immaculate! Even though the plot itself wasn't quite relaxing, I had to rate this book 'relaxing' among other things because of the undescribably dreamy and calming feelings all the space travel and creative world-building made me feel. Reading this felt like I was lucid dreaming with no intentions of ever waking up. I was also very interested in all the fictional biology and other futuristic science — even though I don't usually read sci-fi, the most scientific parts happened to be my favourites in this book. I would have read this for just the vibes, the plot was not my main interest nor did it live up to my expectations — compared to the incredible vibes it was just okay, and the ending fell flat.
