squidly18 's review for:

To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers
3.5
challenging inspiring reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I was really into the book for the first 60% and then it really started to drag for me. I don't know if I just grew tired of the style? This is definitely more of a descriptive scientific journal with some personal reflections than a driving space Odyssey focused on the bioengineering mentioned in the description. 

This is a great read if you want to reflect on the ethics and purpose of space travel and discovery.
