I enjoyed this alot and read it almost in one sitting, to me the pacing was really pleasant and I didn't feel infodumped upon despite the amount of new terms and concepts to learn. The only reason I am disappointed in the ending is that if you present a mystery to me, I am going to want it answered. Rarely does an open ending work satisfactory to me. I figured, after reading a psalm for the wild built, that Becky Chambers is more about creating a world and some characters in order to explore philosophical questions, and isn't particularly interested in developing a clear cut answer for you. That's nice and interesting, but I still wanted to know so many specifics

what happened to earth, what happened to the lawki 5,...

I don't want to criticise the book for this though - it's definately more a style/genre preference on my end than a fault of the book or the writing. I like Becky Chambers' writing a lot and will probably read her other works as well.

Another novella doused in the perfect mixture of science and heart. I felt like I was there with them exploring these worlds, and I felt Ariadne's hopelessness and sobbed when they left Opera. As with all of her other books, I can't recommend it enough

I’ve loved the character interactions in other Becky Chambers books, and the character interactions just aren’t the focus of this novella. It was okay, but not what I look for when I think Becky Chambers.
