One of the things that I generally like about Becky Chambers is that her books are more character driven and the expansive world-building. In this book though, there were several times where it felt a bit explain-y where the characters were describing their cultures, histories, etc. to each other. I appreciate all of the thought she's put into the different species but it felt a bit like a lecture. Overall, I did still enjoy it but less so than her other works I've read.
