    Speaking of ensemble casts, the camaraderie is a must! Every character is vividly portrayed! This book may not have superpowers, but everyone's strength is amazing! I spent almost 20 hours catching up! It started slowly but gained momentum, yet the rating is still so low. The interstellar comrades have a romantic pairing, and the author's science fiction foundation is very solid, giving a satisfying feeling of knowledge flowing through your mind. The entire book is fast-paced and exciting; it's hard not to suspect there's no pseudonym. It's truly a great read, I swear on my status as a veteran bookworm. The pairing is Slavic, and while the plot isn't extensive, it's incredibly engaging, giving me a unique interstellar romance. There are many competitions throughout, packed with detail, and it's only been a few chapters—both quantity and quality!
