Liked a lot, and the characterization of an adolescent was outstanding

I think this might have been my favourite of the series, which is weird cause it has a lot of the things I disliked about the other books but for some reason this worked so much better for me?

I think the closed setting helped to make me care less about the lack of plot (since they can't really do anything anyway) and I have always found Chambers' exploration of alien cultures and how they interact with each other really interesting and this was giving me a lot of that!

Some of the banter is still a bit too cheesy, and there were times each character was just reflecting on their situation without much else happening, but I had a fun time!

This was also lovely, soft, comfortable, while also political. I liked it a lot. But I think it might be my least favourite of the series? Or maybe I'm just a bit checked out mentally. When I consider individual pieces I'm like "yes!!!" but it doesn't rise to the intense experience of the other three. I think there wasn't as much of a reminder of the stakes, so less tension, than in the others; there were mentions, sure, but it felt more cosy than "eek, how is this going to go?" It really made me want to go back to the start though!
