An excellent book. The show is different enough that no matter which you start with the other will be just as enjoyable.

Every entry in this series brings something different but similarly beautiful and unexpected. Becky really knows how to bring a universe to life.

There was a point where I thought this one was the least favorite of the three I read so far but the way a part towards the end was written actually brought me to tears. Each of the series installments really is it's own thing. You can't really compare them.

I trust Becky chambers. I left the great first book hoping to continue with those characters and was initially a bit disappointed that it doesn't stick with them but I think I enjoyed this second book even more. It really jelled together better and had a cohesive theme. Really really good. Already checked out book 3.

TThe first half of the book is very good as they bounce through the stories. The second half is just two huge chapters and they are very dense. 

Wanderers hit at the right time with the right vibe. This book was not as good but it felt good to have their stories end and be finished. It was still pretty good

This book is very very slow. There are large swaths of 1600s bureaucracy and letter writing which you have to read to get to the very interesting ideas in the 24th century

It's no station eleven but it was a fun read.

The bobiverse series is some of the best, fun reading I've done in a while. The books just move so quick and the whole thing is just a blast. I love the universe created and the ideas brought about by the technologies involved. Can't wait for the next one. 

This was an excellent series that I can't imagine never going back to. Hopefully the author goes back to this universe.

These books are so good I have to slow down reading them while my library procures the next in the series. I don't want to spoil anything in this second book but it continues the story of The Bobs and the threat that the local universe is under. Dennis Taylor really has hit a chord here with this story.

Man talk about both good and bad. This book was good but it made me feel bad. I'm glad she's doing better. 

This book is exceptionally good. It took me years to read it because no library near me carried it but I eventually found the form on the library site for them to procure it and books 2 and 3 in the series. Well worth the wait. The concept is very interesting and I like the idea of a Star Trek v'ger style ship but instead of gaining sentience, it was a human in a computer. I can't wait to see where the series goes and how this ramps up to a true ‘Bobiverse'.

It's too bad this is the last parable book. It's such a unique concept and a really interesting philosophy. 

This is a very good book I'm so sad she never got to conti the series after one sequel. 

This is a really good book. But when I saw the author was inspired by world war z and station eleven I knew I was going to love it because those are also really good books. It has Y The Last Man vibes without going that far.

The concept of this book was pretty unique. I enjoyed the design of the antagonists. I highly recommend this book! 

It was a fitting end to the series. Arcs of completion for everyone. I would have liked a bit more finality with a few other characters but overall somehow Corey pulled off a non disappointing ending. 

Its a good continuation of the story but it is a bit of a bummer they are all separated. Higher hopes for the next one. Still a good book

Lots of chapter jumping. So much. 3-4 good perspectives the rest you just try and get through to get to the good characters. 

He always gives you something to think about. 

This book is like 90% walls of text and no dialog. Great topic. Bad execution 

There wasn't as much plot and too much heady weird stuff. I enjoyed the world but it didn't delve into it enough. It was about 80 pages too long. 

The end lagged a bit but it is very cool to see the authors next logical leap from here to the Bobiverse series. Those are where he really shined and I can see glimpses of that in this book. 

The last third of the book really slows down. I wouldn't say it was on par with Station Eleven but it had some similar themes. The comparison to it on the book jacket is what made me pick it up.
