Becky Chambers has made me fall in love with Sci-Fi.
In this book we follow The Wayfarer, a tunneling ship in space with its rag-tag and interspecies crew as they journey through space and take on a job that could change the trajectory of their careers forever.
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet is the definition of “it’s about the journey, not the destination”. I feel so in love with these characters, their stories, troubles, and futures. Becky Chambers knows how to write real characters. My favorites were probably Sissex and Doctor Chef, but I really did love all of them. (Even Corbin grew on me)
This book hits the sweet spot of “cozy” for me. It’s lighthearted and hopeful, while also remaining realistic. In a lot of ways, it’s reminds me of original Star Trek with the format of chapters, the cast, and how queer it is.
Over all such an amazing book I want to buy and reread!
