holy shit.
i had a really hard time getting into this after ALWTASAP but i think that’s because i was expecting it to be a sequel. it technically is but this is completely separate from the first. i took a step back and once i came back at it with fresh eyes i was blown away. Chambers is an amazing writer, the way that they build the environment and the characters are mind blowing. I truly loved all of the characters, and i have a soft spot for oouoh and tak. every time i open a becky chambers book i feel like i am becoming a better person. i felt like the ending was rushed because i wanted to savour the happiness but i think it was written in the best way possible and Chambers knows how to structure a story perfectly. this might be one of my favourite books ever.

The wayfarer's series is almost certainly my favorite series of all time (I'm currently in the midst of a slow reread to work my way to the fourth book), and while I love the first book wholeheartedly and find the third to be wonderful and inspiring, this one connects to me on a personal level more than most books I've ever read. While I don't know if the neurodivergent coding of the main AI character, Sidra, is intentional, as an autistic person I found myself relating to her quite possibly more than any other character I've seen in media. There's so much more I can say but... I don't have the words nor the space to say it.

There are a lot of triggers in here, but this is not by any means a dark book. It covers some pretty heavy topics, but it manages to keep a relatively warm and comforting tone throughout.notacartoonyet's review against another edition
