The Galaxy, and the Ground Within

I love this series and I love bottle episodes so I knew this one was gonna be amazing. And it was, oh god it was. I lose track of who is what species and what all of them can do, but luckily so do the characters and it feels natural the way they repeat certain things about their anatomy and culture in the text to help you keep up. 

Honestly the last 100 pages of this I was just crying and smiling the whole way. This made me want to reread the first book because it gave me that same feeling. A group of people of different species learning about each other, helping each other and sharing their lives and cultures. Magnificant.
