This is a book exactly in line with what one would expect based on the previous works in this series, but somehow this one didn't land all the way for me, and I'm not sure why.
Did I like reading about a bunch of different aliens all dealing with their own stuff but doing their best to be reasonable to each other when unexpectedly stuck together for a multi-day emergency? Sure! But I never felt exactly invested, the way I did for the previous books. It was merely a mildly nice way to spend a couple hours. Which isn't a bad thing for a book to achieve, but is not quite what I hope for out of Chambers. Disappointing. :(
