I loved this whole series and world.  I speed read the first three, and then was so sad the series was nearly over that I drug this one out for months.

The entire series asked so many good questions about what it means to be human and in relationship with others, your history, and your desires.

 Becky Chambers is going to break me one day!

The back third of this book had me in near constant tears. A beautiful exchange of ideas about personhood! I could gush for hours, but it would be full of spoilers.

The short reality is that Becky Chambers paints a better world than the one we live in.
