A sweet, lovely story that made me cry a little bit. Chambers has evidently put thought into her worldbuilding (I remember thinking about how the City’s existence was possible if the Earth’s land was all one continent, given that people cannot live far from water, and that thought was in the back of my mind until she wrote on water engineers), and I always appreciate that. It’s one of those books that you know the ending of going in, so you’re really just there for a story—and it was a really wonderful story!
