Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers

3.5

 The ending of this novel made me sob. It was so impactful at demonstrating the beauty of humanity, no matter where we end up in the universe. This is one of the more "human-centric" stories that Chambers has written so far in the Wayfarers universe and I feel as though this might partly be why it sits somewhere in the middle for me. The beginning portion of the novel felt really slow for me, and not in the usual Becky Chambers cozy way. It was difficult for me to really find myself getting close to the characters, which is never something I want to experience. The novel really picked up after a certain scene and I feel like that is when I began to understand and really embrace the message the novel was putting forth.
