Masterful writing. This has never been on my radar, but I've heard SO MANY folks sing the praises of Becky Chambers - I get it now. This was exciting while still managing to be relaxing and cozy. I loved that the science felt believable and how seamlessly Chambers integrated the different critical themes and topics throughout the narrative. It took me nearly 2 months to get through this, though (when usually I can read books in a week or so). While there was nothing specific that I disliked, I think the low stakes just never had me itching to pick this up.
Graphic: Xenophobia
Moderate: Violence and Gun violence
Minor: Sexual content, War, Genocide, and Vomit
