The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers, #1)
"Somewhere within our crowded sky, a crew of wormhole builders hops from planet to planet, on their way to the job of a lifetime. To the galaxy at large, humanity is a minor species, and one patched-up construction vessel is a mere speck on the starchart. This is an everyday sort of ship, just trying to get from here to there.
But all voyages leave their mark, and even the most ordinary of people have stories worth telling. A young Martian woman, hoping the vastness of space will put some distance between herself and the life she‘s left behind. An alien pilot, navigating life without her own kind. A pacifist captain, awaiting the return of a loved one at war.
Set against a backdrop of curious cultures and distant worlds, this episodic tale weaves together the adventures of nine eclectic characters, each on a journey of their own."
I went in hoping for a space faring shenangins and fun romp around the galaxy and goodness was I delighted when I got all that an more. This is wihtout a doubt one of the most hopeful and uplifting books I've read all year. If you like reading about everyday life in space, found families, and alien cultures then this is definetly one not to miss.




YES. I read this last month and loved it. Such a great book.
gotta say, that sounds DELIGHTFUL. ::bookmarks::
This is currently sitting on my bedroom floor waiting to be read :)
I loved this book! It's pretty slow, character-based, and the world building is wonderful.
