This series takes another turn, this time with only a tenuous connection to the crew from book #1. (One of the families in the story is related to the captain of the ship.)
This book is an in-depth study of society, how it's structured, and how we care for and neglect each other.
At the same time, it has rich, well-developed characters who each have their own personalities. The seemingly-unrelated stories of each do intersect and affect each other, resulting in major life changes for many of them.

Explosion of a colony space ship happens in the introduction, but it forms the historical setting of other events. Death is ofamandanerd's review against another edition

Wow, I think I may even like this more than A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet—and I really enjoyed that! All of the story lines were great, but I particularly liked Kip's character development. Overall, it's a well thought out world, and I appreciate the little connections between the books.

The beauty of Chambers' work is when the characters' lives finally overlap and there is so much meaning to be found.

Complex interactions. A deep look at humans on multiple levels. Really, really really enjoyed it. Listened to it twice while I had it out.

Explore human culture after becoming a space faring species out of necessity for generations, and then a species split between planed and the ships wee survived on. A scifi slice of life: Another excellent read in this series exploring the many aspects of being human. I loved this as much as Chambers' other books.
