I think this might have been my favourite of the series, which is weird cause it has a lot of the things I disliked about the other books but for some reason this worked so much better for me?
I think the closed setting helped to make me care less about the lack of plot (since they can't really do anything anyway) and I have always found Chambers' exploration of alien cultures and how they interact with each other really interesting and this was giving me a lot of that!
Some of the banter is still a bit too cheesy, and there were times each character was just reflecting on their situation without much else happening, but I had a fun time!
