Like a warm hug but in new and surprising ways. Very different from the first two (which are very different from each other) but still very enjoyable. I basically inhaled it.

This book is another in the anthology that is just gorgeous, it is the records of a few standards (galactic years) of a number of humans aboard a human space station. It is just amazing, this book had me crying about how beautiful humanity is and this series just has me so hopeful for the future of spacefaring humans.

Lovely little book about humanity. The past, present and the future of the exodans and how it's okay to the different and okay to conform to be most comfortable

This book is quite different from the previous two in the series. It has more emotion but less tension. It’s more like literary fiction that just happens to take place in space than science fiction. The characters are vivid and the world-building is excellent. It’s just a bit slow.

I really enjoyed the story in this one. I do wish we got a little more of the other space races in the universe.
