This series was a 5 star series for me, with every single book being an exploration of hope, humanity, and building community. This final installment's exploration of family, found family, and valuing differences between people resonated so much with me. I deeply enjoy how this series explores a hopeful future. I particularly loved Speaker and Roveg as characters. I even enjoy the bittersweet endings that don't wrap up everything with a pretty bow and instead leave us to fill in some elements about the character's future. I will definitely miss this world and this series.

This was my absolute favorite of the Wayfarers series; I read it in a day. It was so interesting to have different species stuck together and come out the other end with more understanding of themselves and others. And everything is wrapped up neatly. This was a layover for the characters, but we can see the ways that small moments and taking the time to try to meet others where they are makes all the difference. I also think that people who like Welcome to Nightvale, particularly the first book, will really enjoy this book as well.

I absolutely love this series, and I'm so sad to have finished it. This book was so lovely, and I will never get over how well Becky Chambers combines this hopeful diverse utopia with incredible social commentary and complicated issues. There is so much to be learned from this series. Also there were several moments of wholesomeness or hope that just made me tear up (as well as a line from the acknowledgements that just. fully made me cry?? honestly rude).

I'll be recommending this series to anyone I can get to read it.
