god im so sad this is over i could read a thousand of these 

and yet what a perfect way to sum up what keeps me living and appreciating natural beauty than a quote from this very book: 

“There was only shouting, cheering, cries of delight as the two of them jumped and played and marveled at the spectacle that would’ve existed whether anyone was there to witness it or not.”

 
Overall I loved this extension of the universe and its characters! This world feels so warm and well loved. I also enjoyed the answer / exploration of the question of purpose posed by the first book. I read Dex’s burnout as more of a depression which felt particularly relatable without feeling preachy. This book really knows how to embrace just letting things be and enjoying the moment :,)

will be returning to this series often in the future to renew myself i hope
