I think the most amazing part of Becky Chambers' work is the overwhelming empathy she communicates between the reader and her characters. You care for these characters in a way very rarely experienced in Sci-Fi novels.

I'd love to learn more about her world-building process because it is a Masterclass in itself. I saw a youtube interview with her and gleamed a hint of what could have produced such a talent. Becky is a dedicated D&D DragonLance player, and spoke briefly and with great affection of her groups campaign over many years.

Her books are social, deep, intelligent and brilliant. Highly recommended and will continue to be in your consciousness long after you've finished each tome. BRILLIANT
