So happy I finally got into it. It’s a cute and wondering novella about life, existence, home, and exploration. Love the trans, aroace, and polyam representation. As always, Chambers does not disappoint. 

I thought it might connect a bit more to the Wayfinders and I hope Chambers writes more novellas to string together the progression from To Be Taught, If Fortunate to The Long Way to A Small Angry Planet. Would love to read more of their imaginings of how space life develops!
