Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers
4.0

The Exodan Fleet were the last humans to leave Earth, on ships made from their crumbling cities. The ships were supposed to be home to future generations until they found a new planet to land on, but the Exodan Fleet is still flying, albeit parked in orbit around a new star, and remains home to many who will never live planetside. This is a story told from the point of view of five people living in the Exodan fleet, which explores what the Fleet has to offer its people and why people want to continue living there. It is a story about continuity, about finding one’s own way, and about the cycle of life and death.

This was really good. It is much more character-driven and idea-driven than plot-driven, but still really enjoyable. I did not enjoy this one as much as the previous two books, but still really good.
