#14 The Galaxy, and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers

 The fourth book in the series is a self-contained story. There are characters from previous books, but the reader doesn’t need to know them to enjoy this story.  Like last book this is more of a slice of life and not a huge story of heroes and villains. This story covers group of various species of travelers stuck at a waystation due to a global satellite failure.  It covers how they interact with one another and their host at the fuel stop.  It also gives the reader more insight to the various aliens that make up this story universe. Reading this felt like a comfortable blanket wrapping around you. There are life decisions made by each character at the end of the book and it is because of the time and talks they had with each other.  There are some spoilers for the previous books but a new reader will not be lost.
