Beautiful language, beautiful descriptions and thought provoking. Several times I got that pleasant tingling feeling in my chest because of how immersed I got. The way the characters interact with the worlds and each other felt so calming and... nice. And when the crew goes through hardships, I felt that too.

I loved how the different planets served as different stages in the storytelling and their journey. My only problem with the book was how short it was. I wanted to melt into it for as long as I could.
