I really enjoyed this; I was expecting to like it the least out of the series so far, and that might even be true, I'm not sure. But I really loved getting to see a closer look at humans in this world, and a deep look into so many perspectives. 

I was caught off-guard by

the sudden death of one of the characters, and I found it really sad and moving. I'd like to think he'd appreciate the center set up after that though, for people like him in the future.

I'm sad I only have one more book in this series, and want to spend as much time in this world as possible.

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.
