So far this one was my least favorite unfortunately because there were so many different characters and their perspectives it was hard to stay engaged since I felt like I needed to keep remembering where we'd left off with the other characters. I found the descriptions and information about Exodan life very interesting but the death of Sawyer was very abrupt and felt sort of random. I liked how things came a bit full circle at the end and with the epilogue and learning about what the characters were doing later. But the multiple character perspectives really tripped me up whereas in the last book there were only 2 that we were going between which made it easier to keep track of their parallel stories.

Like all of the wayfarers series I loved this book, but I definitely enjoyed this book less than 1 and 2. Not 100% why but I think it's in part due to the more melancholy nature and the lower stakes than either the first two books.
