Follows the stories of people dealing with cultural change.
Addendum: It seems to me that one of the hardest world-building challenges is creating ceremonies that feel *real*, that don't seem silly or overblown. The ceremonies that Chambers incorporates into this book move me to tears every time I re-read it.

Loved the previous entries in this series, but literally nothing happens in this one. No stakes. No central plot. None of the characters really do much. I suppose it’s a “feel good” book but I was so bored.
Guess I forgot to review this one. From my memory, this was a struggle and I DNFed it initially. It had the slowest build of the four in the series, but at the end of the day I enjoyed the weaving of the story and was very satisfied, it just all happened too late.

It wasn't as emotional as the first two and it took me quite a while to get into it with how much jumping around there is between characters. It settled in for me in the last third and I became more invested.
