very good; except for the ending (hated it); excellent writing and world-building based on known science. It does give a lot to think about, though, philosophically speaking. ( )
This book was really great... right up until the end. It's beautifully written, and it's a good book, but my personal preference is for less... ambiguous endings. I don't need EVERYTHING tied up in a neat bow, but I really don't like "Lady and the Tiger" endings. That's simply personal preference though. Otherwise the book was so great, that the ending was proportionally disappointing to me. ( )
Such a bingable and immersive story! This book really reminded me of why I love sci-fi so much: authors truly get the chance to stretch their imagination and come up with futures, planets, sciences, and all kinds of things that are unfamiliar or new to the reader. Add that to the coziness of this tightly knit crew and the result of one hell of a book. Just really what I wanted to read right now! ( )
There’s a quiet beauty to Chambers’ writing that envelops you in her story and holds you tight until the very end. Proof that a novel doesn’t have to have hundreds of pages to be impressive.
With technical prowess and outstanding visceral imagery, Chambers (the Wayfarer Series) packs an immense amount of story into a novella worthy of full-length praise.

To Emily, who doesn't have to read this, but did make me think the right thing.

I know how much a world can change within the bookends of a lifetime.
The awesome, fragile humility of knowing you're the only human around for miles. (p. 30)
I didn't see a waste ... [in] that vast, echoing flatland, I saw exactly what my soul had longed for. A quiet place. A blank slate. A reality in which everything held still for however long I needed it to. It was not exciting, but neither was it frightening. It was not compelling, but neither was it overwhelming. It was, pure and simple. (p. 116)
As the Secretary General of the United Nations, an organisation of one hundred and forty seven member states who represent almost all of the human inhabitants of the planet Earth, I send greeting on behalf of the people of our planet. We step out of our solar system into the universe seeking only peace and friendship - to teach, if we are called upon; "to be taught, if" we are "fortunate." We know full well that our planet and all its inhabitants are but a small part of this immense universe that surrounds us, and it is with humility and hope that we take this step.
- Former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, 1977, as recorded on the Voyager Golden Record
