Després de recórrer les zones rurals de Panga, Dex, uni mongi del te de cert renom, i Moixeró, un robot enviat a una recerca per determinar què realment necessita la humanitat, dirigeixen la seva atenció als pobles i ciutats de la petita lluna que anomenen casa. Esperen trobar les respostes que busquen, a la vegada que fan nous amics, aprenen nous conceptes i experimenten la naturalesa entròpica de l’univers. La nova sèrie de Becky Chambers continua preguntant-se: en un món on la gent té el que vol, importa tenir-ne més?

Quick, gentle, sensorially rich read

Been struggling a bit with starting new fiction, and have fond memories of reading the first of this sequence on a trip to the Isle of Skye a year and a half ago, so started this as a way to prime the pump for future reading. A satisfying, enjoyable read on its own merits, incorporating some great descriptive material, and more thoughtful than it had to be, adding depth to an otherwise light-touch bildungsrobot (sorry) plot. The ending is well-judged, breaching reader expectations while keeping things open, and I really appreciated being able to start and finish a book in a single sitting.

Can't wait for the next one!
5 stars
The world described in these books is one that I would love to live in, more than that described in any other science fiction book. Forget cyberpunk, give me solarpunk for life! It's a great book to read before bed, as the book is like a warm hug, helping you settle down and relax before going to sleep.

Like a soothing cup of tea
5 stars
Another sweet and generous tale, so full of heart and the doubts that can fill one. I found myself moved to think about the world differently and literally reconsidered my career choices at one point while reading. The way the author teases out ideas about identity and self-perception really landed for me.
On a less positive note, this book got me trouble when I laughed out loud in bed and woke up my wife who had just nodded off. Thanks Becky!

Like the first book in the series, I had a good laugh and paused to think a few times. An excellent novella for a warm summer night that offers a peculiar perspective on some of our real world problems.
