My first foray in the wayfarers series left me with the feeling I had read something unique. I loved the world but I struggled to remain engaged with the story and didn't like the ending. I'm a huge fan of others books by Becky Chambers, for the record, so I set myself on continuing the wayfarers series (I loved the monk robot series and To be Taught). This second installment in the series worked better for me, as it was more focused (less characters, less meandering). I lost a bit of engagement in the middle but boy of boy did I cry as the end. Chambers' stor telling is truly unique. I now know wit out a doubt I will finish this series.
