I love Becky Chambers. In every book I've earned by her, her character work is just incredible. From the outset I knew I was going to love these characters and was sad it was such a short book so I wouldn't get to spend much time with them. As a (marine) biologist I loved the focus on alien life forms in this book, I found it all super interesting and think it was handled as realistically as possible. I had to read the last couple pages a couple times for the ending and what it meant to really sink in. I highly recommend this book to any new or existing Becky Chambers fans.
