Sadly, I am almost done :-( As others have said, the story and characters are reminiscent of Firefly, although in a less hostile universe and with alien species fully developed on a Star Trek level (at least). There are more viewpoint characters and more, larger political and other conflict than in A Closed and Common Orbit, which is technically the sequel, but I'm glad I read first and might like a tiny bit better. A Closed and Common Orbit delves further into the two viewpoint characters, and I was especially drawn to the story of Jane/Pepper's traumatic childhood and unusual upbringing, which TLWSAP gives away in a quick gloss that I'm glad I missed.
