L'excellente suite de la saga Les Voyageurs. J'ai adoré les nouveaux personnages, même si j'ai un tout petit peu regretté la multiplicité des PDV du 1er tome (deux ici seulement). Un bonheur !

I enjoyed the first book in this series well enough, but this one was definitely a step up. It had a totally engrossing story, characters I fell in love with, basically the whole package.

5.0

I really really liked this. It was different from the first book in the series, and less lighthearted for sure, but Becky Chambers is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. The characters and worlds she builds are amazing and so well thought-out. This book had some darker/sadder elements than I'm used to with other books I've read by her, but not in a bad way. I can't wait to read the next one.
