With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop.

At the Five-Hop One-Stop, long-haul spacers can stretch their legs and get fuel, transit permits, and assorted supplies. The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her sometimes helpful child, who work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through.

When a freak technological failure halts all traffic to and from Gora, three strangers - all different species with different aims - are thrown together at the Five-Hop. Grounded, with nothing to do but wait, the trio - an exiled artist with an appointment to keep, a cargo runner at a personal crossroads, and a mysterious individual doing her best to help those on the fringes - are compelled to confront where they’ve been, where they might go, and what they are, or could be, to each other.

4 (Muito bom)

Incrível como a autora conseguiu nos apresentar uma parte inteira da galáxia quando o livro todo acontece em um planeta.
Amei o livro,achei as discussões muito pertinentes e me apaixonei por cada um dos personagens e suas peculiaridades.
A história fala sobre família,auto aceitação,diferenças culturais,opressão estrutural e vários outros assuntos,que apesar de terem sidos usados em um contexto diferente,podem facilmente serem aplicados pra nossas vidas.
Só não achei 5 estrelas porque na minha opnião,o livro se beneficiaria de um plot mais desenvolvido,principalmente na primeira metade.
