Rosemary Harper doesn't expect much when she joins the crew of the aging Wayfarer. While the patched-up ship has seen better days, it offers her a bed, a chance to explore the far-off corners of the galaxy, and most importantly, some distance from her past. An introspective young woman, she's never met anyone remotely like the ship's diverse crew, including Sissix, the exotic reptilian pilot, chatty engineers Kizzy and Jenks, who keep the ship running, and Ashby, their noble captain. Life aboard the Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy-exactly what Rosemary wants. It's also about to get extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of a lifetime. Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitely lucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life wasn't part of the plan. In the far reaches of deep space, the tiny Wayfarer crew will confront a host of unexpected mishaps and thrilling adventures that force them to depend on each other. To survive, Rosemary's got to learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs-an experience that teaches her about love and trust, and that having a family isn't necessarily the worst thing in the universe.… (mais)

I have not read the next books of the 'empress' - so not sure this holds, but to me, they are so similar.… (mais)
beyondthefourthwall: Deeply character-driven sci-fi with particular care allotted to worldbuilding and major cross-species differences in culture, physiology, etc.
andreas.wpv: Angry planet and pale light trigger similar emotions, talking about connections, newbies finding their places on teams, developing friendships, kinship, closeness.
Pale light is more action packed, more tense then how I recall angry planet, but is clearly a more traditional story, with more stereotypical characters and plot, jokes, scenes.… (mais)
Cloverlimes: Space travel, strange characters/sentient AI, and Intrigue surrounding a new path through space.
Lallo's story is more action focused, where Chambers' is more about found family.
ReshiBec: An outsider meets an already established 'found family' made up of diverse characters... but in a fantasy world instead of space. Similar tone.
