Another beautiful 5 Stars for Becky Chambers.
There are many things I could say about this book:
1) Sidra is such a wonderfully round and heartbreaking character. Watchig Sidra become comfortable with who she is is a beautiful journey.
2) Jane's/Pepper's story is one of perseverance and love. I sobbed so many times just reading about her history.
3) Every single character in this book is someone you want to be friends with. PROTECT BLUE AT ALL COSTS!! Tak, such a delightful character!
4) An ending that will leave you crying with love and joy, I still haven't recovered from it.
BUT The two main takeaways of this book are the masterful writing and the vivid world building.
One of the best examples of Chambers talent is the scene where Jane is learning new words from Owl. That entire passage made me stop and read it over and over again because it was so brilliant.
The world Chambers creates feels lived in, especially when you include the fun online forums that add that extra magic.
I just, want to read everything and anything she writes. I want to live in any universe Chamber creates.
