 We Travel the Spaceways is a great way to end the Black Stars series. LaValle has an incredible voice when it comes to writing, the characters and city jump off the page and the dialogue is sharp. I cannot say with any certainty that I understood what happened at the end of this story, but it does not matter. It was fun to read and the experience was worth the air of uncertainty.

This was kind of a conflicting read for me. I loved the character voice and the trajectory of the story, but the thing the main character was doing for the main part of the plot seems so terrible for no reason and that dragged the story down for me.
