I first came across the Wayfarers series in 2017, and fell in love with it within minutes of starting the "The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet" audiobook. I've been following Becky Chambers' writing ever since, so I was really excited when this book was announced - even if part of me does wish this series wasn't coming to an end!
I was definitely not disappointed.
As always, Chambers' writing is beautiful. It has amazing worldbuilding, a cast of well-rounded characters, and expertly used humour alongside the more serious/emotional parts. I really liked the balance of plot vs character development vs ethical dilemmas in this one, and the pacing felt just right. All of the characters had their flaws, but I definitely liked them all anyway by the end and was rooting for them all to succeed in their individual goals.
I'll definitely be preordering a copy of The Galaxy and the Ground Within, and rereading the whole series in the runup to its release.
Thank you to Becky Chambers and Hodder & Stoughton for letting me read an eARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!
