Wayfarers Series by Becky Chambers

The Wayfarers Series is a character-driven, optimistic science fiction saga set in a richly imagined universe where humans and aliens coexist across interstellar civilizations. The series explores themes of identity, belonging, relationships, and the meaning of life through diverse perspectives. Each book often focuses on different characters and worlds, but they share a common tone of hope, empathy, and exploration rather than conflict-driven drama.
