i didn’t think the first book in the wayfarers series could be topped, but here we are! this book was so delightful. i loved it. i may have accidentally stayed up until 3am to finish it 🤭
the plot of this book is simple and easy to follow, which is a huge improvement from the previous book, record of a spaceborn few. the characters are incredibly diverse and loveable in their own way.
i adored tupo - such a cute little character, so curious and playful. the conversations about human things, such as cheese, were hilarious. but this book also dealt with serious topics, such as listening to what your heart wants, cultural conflicts, family problems, and more
i really, really enjoyed this book. i don’t read sci-fi much so the series was a tad difficult at times, as i had to get used to different systems and … uh … other space stuff … but overall the wayfarers series made for a pleasant experience!
