This book reminds me a lot of Becky Chambers’ later series of novellas, The Monk and Robot. Many characters in this book and the main character of the other books, are struggling with finding purpose, even though their lives are good or their jobs are fulfilling.  I couldn’t get into this book as much as the first two, but that’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it.

4.0

This definitely felt more character-driven than the previous two books in the series. We've got a new cast again (I miss Rosemary!) but by the end they had grabbed my heart.
