The Vela | 
pickI was pleasantly surprised a book written by four authors in parts read so seamless to me!
This sci fi tale follows a unique and rather morally grey MC through a mission complicated by lies and political machinations. It touches on everything from greed, xenophobia, and isolationism, to cultural erasure and the destruction of family, and comes together as a spectacular story of strength and perseverance, even in the face of overwhelming odds.

The story doesn't exactly wrap up (there's a second season written by a different set of authors) but I really enjoyed this first part. Kept me on the edge of my seat, and both the plot and the characters were well-written.
I'm kind of afraid the second season will be a disappointment, but let's hope...
3.75/5
I felt like everyone could use something a bit uplifting today, so...
1. The Vela, O Human Star Vol. 2, and How to be an Antiracist
2.Take a Hint, Dani Brown
3. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
