This final novel set in the Wayfarers universe continues Chambers' tradition of Cozy SF: quiet stories about decent people who are facing personal and professional challenges, while doing their best to be good people and to treat others kindly.
This novel features detailed explorations of four of the alien races glimpsed in the previous novels, with vividly-imagined and beautifully-varied physical and cultural characteristics so deftly described that I finished the book feeling as though the people were real and I had gotten to know them.
Recommended for anyone who could use a good dose of kindness delivered with creativity.
