3.0

I love the way that Becky Chambers writes, and the world she’s created is awesome. But I’m only giving this one three stars because it wasn’t nearly as engaging as the first two in the series. I didn’t find the characters as compelling in this one. Since there were so many characters whose stories were almost entirely disconnected, I found it difficult to get invested.

I know all of the stories link up at some point, but it’s not until very late in the book.

I’m still glad I gave this a read, but I’m hoping that the next book feels a bit more like the first two.
