Becky Chambers is just amazing. I love her writing so much. Her books create a kind of calming effect, comfortable and cozy. The scenes she creates are rich with detail and nearly tangible, yet everything she puts to the page feels as if it just flows effortlessly.

The discussion of identity in this book is so well done. There were a lot of points I was made to consider and the information was delivered in an intriguing and wonderful, yet gentle way. I love how seamless her inclusion is and her characters not only feel real, I get beyond attached to them.
