Ugh, I loved this book so much! This is the kind of space scifi I love. The kind that gets into the minutiae of the science. Not necessarily large, complex concepts (which I do also enjoy), but the day-to-day details of what travelling among the stars would require and the author's imagination needed to make it make sense.

Also, Chambers has a way of writing characters and found families I can't even begin to put into words. They feel so real and you just care about them. The way she had Ari describe the group as a molecule instantly got me. I cared more about Ari and her crew in less than 200 pages than I have about other MCs over entire trilogies.

So good.
