SO FRICKIN' CUTE! As is the usual case with Becky Chambers' books, we follow a cast of disparate characters just being amazing and well characterized and lovable and SQUEE. In this case, we follow a few characters we have seen previously, as well as some new ones. It's so fun to see Easter eggs from previous books, and to watch as the characters interact in a more low-pressure environment that's somehow still engaging and intense at points? Also, the SOCIAL COMMENTARY in this book is 🔥🔥🔥. Go off, Becky Chambers, go off. I listened to this on audio, as I have the rest of the series. Ideal way to consume, 10/10 would recommend.
