A contemplative search for meaning and understanding. The acceptance that maybe not having a purpose is perfectly fine. The big philosophycal questions discussed with unbelievable clarity and levity.
At this point I believe Becky Chambers books need a sci-fi subgenre all for themselves. "Optimistic sci-fi" or something like that. God knows of we need more stuff like this. The ability to see so much good in humanity Is something I really envy.
I've read all books published by Becky Chambers up until now, and every single one of them has been better than the one before. I can't wait to read the next one.
