This was such a beautiful continuation of the original story. I loved how Wecker kept pushing the question of "who do we become?" alongside" how do we become?" for each of her characters, what it means for them to care, and the ways in which being in community is the defining feature of humanity (even if not of being human) and what that means about the self in relation to others.
Also, the descriptions are just wonderful.
