Centuries after the last humans left Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from but few outsiders have seen. Humanity has finally been accepted into the galactic community, but while this has opened doors for many, those who have not yet left for alien cities fear that their carefully cultivated way of life is under threat.
Jak sem psal uz u jednicky - "Pomerne klidna space opera." - porad plati. Je to takovy zensky a bavi me to vlastne vic a vic. Opet spis psychologicka sonda, tentokrat jak by to mozna mohlo byt, kdyz je vlastne tvoje puvodni poslani prezity, ale mozna neni.
As with every book by Becky Chambers that I have read, I struggled in the beginning. The pacing is different in each of her books, the characters have loose links to past storylines at best, and I always need time to ease myself into the new perspectives that slowly develop.
But this book! Yes, it starts slow. But when the story finally takes off, when things start to converge, the payoff is well worth it.
I was smitten with the worldbuilding that was even more intricate and well thought-out than in previous books of the series. I loved the characters, the way they explore facets of the society they inhabit. And in the end, I enjoyed the way the story develops.
I also needed tissues, but that's me.
Enemmän ensimmäisen kuin toisen kaltainen. Tässäkään kirjassa ei tapahdu paljoa, mutta joukko ihmisiä (ja ei-ihmisiä) pohtii, millaista on olla ihminen kulttuurissa.
Tieteisfiktiota, jossa tiede on etnologia.
