This was such a fantastic read! I've been a huge fan of the Monk and Robot series since I first read it and have been putting off reading the Wayfarers series way too long.
I loved how optimistic and happy this book was. There was conflict and bad things did happen, but there was a lot of hope and teamwork and supporting each other that was so lovely. We had such an interesting mix of characters, even the ones I didn't like at the start grew on me over time.
The format is interesting because there is an overarching plot for sure (they are taking the long way to a small angry planet, duh) but the chapters are fairly episodic. This was a great way to get to know all the characters and see their world... It's a pretty great one.
Would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes optimistic SciFi, space operas, and stories about found family.
