Obviously I cried, if you don’t cry reading a Becky Chambers book I’m worried about you. It was slice of life ish with also having a plot. I loved the way she wrote the conflict between the characters and how it was resolved but no one was “wrong.” Just another amazing book.

I loved this one so much and I’m so sad that the series is over.

A solid ending to the series, very worth reading! Not as strong as book one and comparable to book 2 imo, with book 3 being pretty easily the weakest. I could read 100 more wayfarer books, and I realllyyyyy miss Dr chef, bit this was as good of an ending as I could have asked for, I suppose! I really appreciate the way it challenges the conceptions Becky herself has raised for the "evil" species of the galaxiea earlier in the series and the fallout of that.
