Oooh, I really liked her Obsidian and Blood series/trilogy. This sounds different than those, but since I mostly read mysteries, sounds like a cross-over mix of genres that I might like. Thank you!

This is "a gender-swapped retelling of Sherlock Holmes with Watson as a sentient spaceship" set in de Bodard's Xuya Universe - "a timeline where Asia became dominant, and where the space age has Confucian galactic empires of Vietnamese and Chinese inspiration: scholars administrate planets, and sentient spaceships are part of familial lineages."
I've read the story and can recommend it. Another upcoming Xuya story with a similar pairing of characters has been announced this week.
