Thought-provoking and rich narrative. Becky Chambers is a power house. I totally get the point of leaving it open ended. I understand the narrative function of that and the implications of the ask, but I am a sucker for a neat ending and would have loved even a little choose your own adventure moment. Still, her thorough research and ability to create something so engaging and air-tight at the same time astounds me. I love how subtlety weaves into something greater with her writing. Overall, recommend!
