Alex & Henry in Space! This was pretty fun. Kinda slow going at times but a good story and great characters. Had a lot of interesting things to say about imperialism, gender, and other Big Topics. The book is very plot-heavy but the characters were amazing and the relationship between Kiem and Jainan was developed really beautifully. The way Maxwell used certain tried and true tropes was very well done. The worldbuilding was fantastic; I loved so many of the creative, ingenious futuristic technologies she "invented" for the book. Exciting story, wonderful romance. Definitely pick it up if you haven't!
