This was a lovely finish to this four book series. It absolutely could go into further volumes, and I feel that’s one of the great things about the universe Becky Chambers built here. We can imagine the characters having more adventures, and fabulous opportunities for interspecies politics and finding ways to get along even better. But I’m satisfied that we don’t need further adventures.

There are some wonderful themes about getting along, and about perceptions getting in the way of that. I also thank the author for a great take on gender and on coming out.
