I was expecting more of an emotional punch with the ending of this one like I got in A Closed and Common Orbit, but alas I didn't get that here.

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.

This moved slower than the previous two books did for me, but was a reflective exploration of what it means to be human, where we come from and where to go. 

Onto the last!
