After asking around for recommendations for books like Star Trek or Firefly, I was given this series.
I must admit that I am not dissatisfied.
It was immediately added to my list of the best science fiction.
This novel contains all the qualities I look for in a book, and the characters—which are what matter most—are fantastic.
Reading about all the aliens, civilizations, and traditions was really cool.
Even humans were intriguing in some way in all of it. 

Reading it is quite nice and soothing.
There is no antagonist or bad guy.
Just imagine sharing a spaceship with its crew. 
Wonderfully done.
