My least favorite so far of the Wayfayer Series, but still a beautifully written book with characters that engage with the world in a way that increases world-building but also feels authentic.

5.0

This one felt like an emotionally harder read than the first two in the wayfarers series but fundamentally it hits at very human questions of life, death, and safety. I also took from it a strong appreciation for archivists and historians as is my way in life! Parts were utopian and some dystopian, but all were human. Well done.

if this were ao3 I’d tag major character death as one of the narrators dies.

A really fascinating read, these almost slice of life stories that Chambers does, but they just work their way in to you. Reminds me a little bit of the Emily St. John Mandel books I read earlier this year.
