After the last book being very human-heavy, this book offers a nice and diverse cross section of the sapients in the universe.

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 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.

I didn't expect to like this book even better than the other three, but it is probably my favourite one in this series. Although I suppose it could be read as a standalone, the careful world building over the three previous books really pays off. The plot is minimal: five very different people are stranded on a remote planet for a few days and get to know each other. This may not sound like a gripping story, but I was absorbed and I feel like the characters are my friends now. 
My only complaint is that this is seemingly the last book in the series. I would read many more.
