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.

I really respect how she writes children; it's beautiful when you can tell that someone likes and respects children in real life by how they write child characters. There is so much love in this book.

Ugh I love Becky Chambers and this series so much! I wish there was more in this universe although I understand how this was a great place to end it. Tupo was my favorite character and I would love to know the character's grown-up life at some point @becky

This one was particularly good because its the first not human narrated and instead gives great insight into the non-human aspect of this universe that is only really hinted at in the other books.

Really enjoyed this whole series, and this was a good one to go out on, although honestly Chambers could come back to this setting any old time she wants as far as I'm concerned.

I really enjoyed the premise of just a bunch of people stuck at an interstellar truck stop, and what happens when you stick all those personalities together. Very different from most of the Scifi I read, but also incredibly enjoyable. Made me tear up a couple of times.

A child asphyxiates and goes into a coma, but is later able to be resuscitated. Their unconscious body is described in detail, both when found and as they are being resuscitated.
