a beautiful little novella about life and its infinite possibilities. Equal parts intimate, cosy, urgent and uneasy.

Don't skip the back matter. The conversation between Ms. and Ms. Chambers is as interesting as the text itself.

Becky Chambers is an incredible author and this book is no exception. Beautifully written sci-fi that still teaches you a lot about real science and possible futures. The set up was beautiful and the ending leaves you thinking about it and imagining what happens next in a wonderful way. A stand alone book, seperate from the wayfarerers series though could be considered as part of the same world (maybe?). Highly recommend! Also trans male rep 🙂
