I found it hard when starting this book to read through all the full pages of text. There is very little dialogue and especially the beginning is very stream of consciousness / info dump. But when it kicked off a bit I could really get into the story. 

Somehow all Becky Chambers books end in this sort of open/closed ending. Where you could technically say it ended in a satisfactory way and yet you still don't know anything. Its brilliant and frustrating simultaneously. 

I loved the mix of science and story with the big emotional evolution of the characters. Excellent
