I love this universe so much, and I'm heart broken for this to be my last contact with the characters. This series prompts the reader to find the beauty in the commonplace and gives hope for a brighter and kinder future. This series makes me want to roast chickpeas, laugh at the absurdity of how human society functions, and to give as much of myself as I can to making the world into a place I want to be in. Becky Chambers constantly surprises me. My perspective is clouded by my experience as an American, and every time medical care, food, water, and shelter are freely given; every time a child wit a non-binary gender is correctly named and gendered; every time people react with kindness and under the assumption that no harm was meant by a mistake or misspokenn word, I am amazed and jealous. The widely varried lifespans of the different species and their perspectives and frustrations with the GC and related wars add to the richness of this world that I've come to deeply love.

I adore Becky Chambers' writing style. There's not much of a plot, bad thing happens then the rest of the book is the characters interacting/learning about each other and their cultures while the problem is resolved by other people. There is conflict between the different characters but also understanding and friendship in some cases. It was a very comforting and was exactly what I needed to read right now.

this is another exceptionally slow Becky Chambers book. If you don't already like her, this won't change your mind. but sometimes this is exactly the right type of book
