The perfect comfort book

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

Becky Chambers knows how to make you feel good through her writing! I read a couple of her books before and each just made me feel right at home and like I belong in this world. I quickly fell in love with each character of this mismatched crew and was absolutely devastated when the book ended! I easily could have spent more hours just reading about their journey through space. The worldbuilding was, once again, perfection. Nothing was left unanswered for me personally, everything was well thought through. Each and every species was interesting and very distinguished in how their societal norms work, how they look and behave. And: humans weren't the norm. They were never, in any way, described as superior which was really interesting and a novelty to me in the Sci-Fi / Fantasy genre. Throughout the story, and also in her other works, Becky Chambers proves that we can all overcome our differences and live along peacefully. A wholesome book that leaves you with a warm feeling and absolute happiness - and the need to immediately dive into the next book in the series!
