I think I'd enjoy reading an encyclopedia about this universe, tbh, that's how fascinating the worldbuilding is to me. I'd love an artbook or something.
Sad to part with the series. I guess I'll just have to reread it from time to time.

This series filled as it is with love, compassion, and kindness, is a soothing balm in an increasingly unkind world ‐ and this final book in the quartet is no different.
This is not a book to read if you want fast-paced action, because beyond the brief triggering incident that brings the main characters together, not a lot actually happens.
These books are all about humanity, and it's such a clever idea of Chambers to use aliens as a conduit to explore its many facets.
Galaxy is about family, about doing what makes you happy, about learning to disagree respectfully, about the beauty in everyday life.
I loved it.
