Toca muchos temas sobre a que tipo de sociedad podrÃamos aspirar y es muy feel good (como ya son en gran parte sus libros). Me ha gustado especialmente la representación en todos sus aspectos, pero en especial, el de la familia poliamorosa, algo poco a poco más habitual.
I am honestly not quite sure how I feel about this one. I still enjoyed the world, and it was a cozy and easy read, but this time the philosophizing felt a bit more forced, a bit ham-fisted.
And the ending was not especially satisfying. It works as an ending for an ongoing series, it also works as an end for the series all together if the author chooses to not write more, but it felt more like the author ran out of pages than a natural conclusion to the characters story.
It was worth reading, I always enjoy Becky Chambers' writing, and I can't say it didn't make me think about the nature of our purpose in life, but this is not one I will be going back to. ( )
Praise to the Parents. Praise to Trikilli, of the Threads. Praise to Grylom, of the Inanimate. Praise to Bosh, of the Cycle.
Praise to their Children. Praise to Chal, of Constructs. Praise to Samafar, of Mysteries. Praise to Allalae, of Small Comforts.
They do not speak, yet we know them. They do not think, yet we mind them. They are not as we are. We are of them.
We are the work of the Parents. We do the work of the Children. Without use of constructs, you will unravel few mysteries. Without knowledge of mysteries, your constructs will fail. Find the strength to pursue both, for these are our prayers. And to that end, welcome comfort, for without it, you cannot stay strong.
—From The Insights of the Six, West Buckland Edition
The thing about fucking off to the woods is that unless you are a very particular, very rare sort of person, it does not take long to understand why people left said woods in the first place.
There was only shouting, cheering, cries of delight as the two of them jumped and played and marveled at the spectacle that would've existed whether anyone was there to witness it or not.

Esta segunda entrega de sus novellas con Dex y Mosscap como protagonistas sigue siendo una taza de té agradable después de un dÃa largo de viaje. Nunca mejor dicho.
Toca muchos temas sobre a que tipo de sociedad podrÃamos aspirar y es muy feel good (como ya son en gran parte sus libros). Me ha gustado especialmente la representación en todos sus aspectos, pero en especial, el de la familia poliamorosa, algo poco a poco más habitual.
No nos engañemos, lo volveré a comprar traducido. Como todo lo de Chambers.
Leed a Becky Chambers. (
