This was my absolute favorite of the Wayfarers series; I read it in a day. It was so interesting to have different species stuck together and come out the other end with more understanding of themselves and others. And everything is wrapped up neatly. This was a layover for the characters, but we can see the ways that small moments and taking the time to try to meet others where they are makes all the difference. I also think that people who like Welcome to Nightvale, particularly the first book, will really enjoy this book as well.
