I love these books because the detail is so well thought out, almost all of the tech and traditions make such logical sense. The detail is incredible, the descriptions are entrancing, and the characters are relatable. I'm sad I only have one more in the series, but I'll be keeping an eye on Becky Chambers for new releases in the future.

Although I was disappointed that Chambers again abandoned characters I had grown to love, this might be my favorite book of the series. I love the society that has grown on the ships, and I love the idea that humanity, in the end, might find its way.

I think I like each book of the Wayfarers more than the last. There's just something so beautiful about the way Chambers balances how her cast of characters deals with the clash of a desire for change and new with the desire for things to remain as they are. It's another quiet scifi novel. There are barely any aliens in this one, but there are so many big themes of belonging and home and purpose and I just love it. That's not to say that there is nothing that happens (they most certainly do!), but like the rest of the Wayfarer series, it's just so much more focused on the ways that beings relate to one another and their place in the universe.
