This was an interesting read but I preferred the other books in the series to this one. Some chapters felt long and windy ( this made me lose interest). It just felt like a slug to read at times, and the book felt like it only came together at the last 10% of the book.
this one was good, but not great. i gave the first two books in this series five stars so this took me by surprise. i think we were following WAY too many characters here. i understood the reason, really dive into life on the Fleet and the Exodan way (humans coming from Earth and living elsewhere in the universe) but it was spread too thin on too many POVs. the parts where Chambers touched on how humans feel about their home planet were really endearing and encompassed so many feelings that i think would be super accurate if it were our reality now. overall, none of the characters really stuck with me and i feel like this book could've covered some of the characters we already knew, rather than introducing so many new ones and then not exploring them deliberately enough. just okay, but i'm excited to read the last book in the series!

I love this trilogy but this is my least favorite of the six Becky Chamber's books I have read. It is the first one I did not rate 5/5.
The stories felt disjointed to me but the whole theme of the book was interesting.

This book asks all the right questions. Finished on a weekend when grief felt big and it was just so full of hope ♥️
I have no idea how this book called to me right when I wasn't sure what to do with my life...but it did. Becky Chambers, how do you even do it?!? I'm a sobbing mess but I feel like, good about it.
I just really love these books. They're so interesting and just good stories about life.

Wow. I can see why this is people’s least favourite book of the series, the start is slow and it takes some time to get into the fairly big cast of characters. But once you got into the story, it’s amazing. This is the deepest book so far, it’s wholesome and heavy at the same time. We’re following multiple characters living on the Fleet, the collection of habitable space ships used by the last humans when they left their dying Earth. I love what Becky Chambers did here, she managed to describe the sentiments of the Fleets inhabitants so perfectly. Each of them had their own journey, a personal story which was different but also similar. I really really enjoyed this book and teared up multiple times. 4.75 stars.
