This is my first foray into Rebecca Thorne. I also have not ready much in the way of ‘cozy’ before, namely Legends & Lattes and Paladin’s Grace. I really enjoyed my time with Moss’d in Space. I like science fiction, I like cozy, so liking this a shoo-in. I really enjoyed the character of Moss, the sentient organic computing system. I didn’t go into this expecting it to be a very thought provoking ultra in-depth book… and you know what? It delivered. Torian was a great character, trying her best to save those she loves. I enjoyed the snark and attitude given by Moss.
If I had to give a singular complaint that weighed on me as the book continued on, I would say that it’s marketed as a ‘cozy sapphic sci-fi romance’ and it feels like the romance is all of… maybe 10 pages? The biggest conversation the main character and the love interest have is maybe 10 pages and they end the conversation saying maybe they’d be better off as friends. I do enjoy what was on-page, I just wish there was more of it.
