A fantastic end to the series that ties up some loose ends from the other books and dives deeper into some of the big topics raised earlier in the series. I think this might be my favourite Wayfarers book.

I’m so sad the series is over, but this was such a wonderful way to end it!! These books feel like a warm hug and never fail to make me cry and The Galaxy, and the Ground Within is no different.

I have never loved a set of characters more. They feel so real. The book was about a small private dome filled with kindness and people learning about eachother and understanding eachother. There were so many beautiful moments and I couldn't have asked for a better ending to this series.

Started a little slow but ended so strong. I laughed, I cringed, I gasped, and I cried. A brilliant way to end my new favourite series.
