"If I ask what I'm asking only of people who agree with me at the outset, with whom I already share a dream and a language, then there's no point in asking at all."

"We exist where we begin, yet to remain is death."

Yet another amazing work from Becky Chambers. I am wholly becoming obsessed with this author, and this novella only furthered my appreciation for her. I'd say this would be in the realm of somewhat cozy sci-fi. This is an excellent quick read that will pull at your heartstrings.

Beautifully written, and a very interesting meditation on science and exploration.
