So, for me, this one dragged on a bit too long, although that also may have to do with pausing my reading for a few days. 

Later on in the novel, the plot starts to get exciting, yet for most of the book, our cast of characters is just stuck together on Gora, chilling and talking a bit to get to know each other. 

As the other installments do, it discusses interesting topics concerning different species, their ways of life and politics. It is calm, insightful and light. 

Definitely would recommend this series as a whole!
