The Exodan Fleet were the last humans to leave Earth, on ships made from their crumbling cities. The ships were supposed to be home to future generations until they found a new planet to land on, but the Exodan Fleet is still flying, albeit parked in orbit around a new star, and remains home to many who will never live planetside. This is a story told from the point of view of five people living in the Exodan fleet, which explores what the Fleet has to offer its people and why people want to continue living there. It is a story about continuity, about finding one’s own way, and about the cycle of life and death.
This was really good. It is much more character-driven and idea-driven than plot-driven, but still really enjoyable. I did not enjoy this one as much as the previous two books, but still really good.

I didn't expect to be so - emotional - reading this: but it was perfect for the story, and entirely appropriate. Highly recommended. (as, of course, are the first two books in the series)

Wasn't my favorite of the three books, but I really liked a lot of the characters in this one!

Sorry to everybody who likes Becky Chambers, but so far all of her books have sort of bored me. I get slice of life, but I'd like to see either more plot, or more character progression, with a beginning, middle and end. It all seems very slow and low stakes. This reads more like a meandering fanfic from a fandom I'm not in, with the serial numbers filed off.
Once again Becky Chambers brings us a wholesome story about people trying to find their way in a confusing and difficult galaxy. While the first book in this series is one of my all time favorites, this did not disappoint to create a unique set of characters in a new part of the Wayfarer universe. I enjoyed how this followed so many different characters that were indirectly connected. This is something I have not experienced before which made for a fun and exciting reading experience.

All the books in this series are very different from each other in terms of characters, POVs, setting, and time period, although all are in the same universe. This book follows unrelated humans of the Exodus Fleet: Ashby’s sister Tessa, teenager Kip, archivist Isabel, mortician Eyas, and outsider Sawyer; their stories join after tragedy.
