An entertaining YA-friendly gay sci fi novel where an arranged marriage for the empire’s dealings leads to solving mysteries and healing trauma. I loved the queer-normative world and non-binary friendliness. The story was well-written and surprised me a few times! 

I adore this couple and could easily follow them through more books, but I think the author prefers stand-alones.
