Centuries after the last humans left Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from but few outsiders have seen. Humanity has finally been accepted into the galactic community, but while this has opened doors for many, those who have not yet left for alien cities fear that their carefully cultivated way of life is under threat.

Maybe triggering

4 étoiles

Again a great book in the series. Having recently read the previous book in the series this did not engage as much as the previous book. Somehow I was not in the mood for reading it just now.

The book gives a unique perspective of systems, humanity and culture. Not to give too much of a spoiler, but some of the topics could be seen as triggering, perhaps mostly due to the compassionate tone that the author uses.

My current favorite from the series

As with every book by Becky Chambers that I have read, I struggled in the beginning. The pacing is different in each of her books, the characters have loose links to past storylines at best, and I always need time to ease myself into the new perspectives that slowly develop.

But this book! Yes, it starts slow. But when the story finally takes off, when things start to converge, the payoff is well worth it.

I was smitten with the worldbuilding that was even more intricate and well thought-out than in previous books of the series. I loved the characters, the way they explore facets of the society they inhabit. And in the end, I enjoyed the way the story develops.

I also needed tissues, but that's me.
