I scratched my head for the first 64% of the book trying to figure out what the overarching message or storyline was but around there things started to make sense. About the time of the first reference to wild-built.I'm crossing my fingers this series does not go the way her Wayfarers series did for me. I loved the first book [b:The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet 22733729 The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers, #1) Becky Chambers https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1405532474l/22733729.SY75.jpg 42270825], but just couldn't get interested in any of the characters introduced in the next 2 books. Adding the next book to my tbr.
