Cerulean Sea
5 stars
This is a human centered book about humans with non-human biology and an ordinary, meek man who makes a difference. I liked the orphans a lot.

Positive depictions of queerness that are centered around good characterization are present throughout the book. Chauncey is my favorite character.
