Yet another wonderful installment in the Wayfarer series. The important elements are still the same: loveable characters (Tupo is so sweet, I can’t) and clever observations about humanity and our history told through non-human characters. 

I didn’t read the third book in this series yet, but compared to the first two, this one is even slower and less happens. No plot, just vibes in the best way. It never got boring, because we spend the time witnessing the interactions between these different species and them learning about and from another. Though I have to be honest here, the audio book probably helped. If I read this book physically I might have struggled. 

I would recommend this series and this book in particular to anyone who wants to think about humans from a little distance on a bigger and smaller scale (the smallest probably being a discussion around cheese, which understandably is a disturbing concept looking at it from the outside). Sometimes it’s easier to meaningfully think about something before having to translate it to real life.
