What a lovely conclusion to such a heartwarming series! Might be my favorite kind of sci-fi of all time. Chambers’ solar-punk subgenre is just so freaking cozy and optimistic!

Becky Chambers doesn’t really miss. I loved this book just as I loved the others in the series (although maybe not as much). I’m so happy to have picked up this series this year!
Becky Chambers does an incredible job writing cozy sci fi that doesn’t shy away from the hard realities of life. The book is like a warm hug that you get at the end of a long and hard week. The characters leap off the pages and the audio narration is, as always, superb. Overall, a lovely and enjoyable read that I would recommend to just about anyone who is down for a calm, character focused book.

I *really* enjoyed this installment of the series; I think it may be the best entry. The exploration of different species and cultures, as well as the conflicts within and among them, was excellent yet the book also succeeded in being cozy sci-fi and making me feel at home within the world.
