well, I read Galaxy: the prettiest star, because of Hawkgirl #1.
It was a pretty charming book, but very high-school-y. I definitely wasn't the target audience :P (which is fine).
The worldbuilding details felt natural.
Spoilers under cut
I kept expecting an invasion of the Vane, because IIRC it was referenced in Hawkgirl #1, but none came so I was like ?? Wait that was it?
I do feel like the text kind of skipped over that by accidentally destroying the Ehsar, Taelyr trapped all the other Cyandii people in the human forms that were part of the cause of making Taelyr so dysphoric (the other thing not being a species but a gender thing). so it did feel very main-character-disease-y on that part. like is the reader supposed to feel bad for taelyr being trapped in a body that is not her own, but not for carl phii or sally? Sally's probably too young to remember being cyandii, and maybe you can say phii chose to do this, but carl is around taelyr's age and clearly remembers it and in some ways resents it.

Galaxy: The Prettiest Star is what I actually want Corporate Pride[TM] events to be - corporations giving queer artists a money and artistic freedom to tell unique stories about the queer experience.

Galaxy: The Prettiest Star by Jadzia Axelrod and Jess Taylor
It takes strength to live as your true self, and one alien princess disguised as a human boy is about to test her power. A vibrant story about gender identity, romance, and shining as bright as the stars.
Taylor Barzelay has the perfect life. Good looks, good grades, a starting position on the basketball team, a loving family, even an adorable corgi. Every day in Taylor’s life is perfect. And every day is torture.
Taylor is actually the Galaxy Crowned, an alien princess from the planet Cyandii, and one of the few survivors of an intergalactic war. For six long, painful years, Taylor has accepted her duty to remain in hiding as a boy on Earth.
That all changes when Taylor meets Metropolis girl Katherine “call me Kat” Silverberg, whose confidence is electrifying. Suddenly, Taylor no longer wants to hide, even if exposing her true identity could attract her greatest enemies. From the charming and brilliant mind behind the popular podcast The Voice of Free Planet X, Jadzia Axelrod, and with stunningly colorful artwork by Jess Taylor comes the story of a girl in hiding who must face her fears to see herself as others see her: the prettiest star.
