All Systems Red by Martha Wells
5.0

This was really just a delight. I powered through it pretty fast (it's not long!) and enjoyed every minute. The world was there but I never felt confused by it, and the plot moved along at an appropriate pace--it never really felt like plot was being crammed in to fit the space, which is a huge testament to the writing. I definitely want to read the next one, but gosh this just made me so happy; funny, unique voice, fast-paced plot but with characters you still definitely felt for and even managed to get to know a little bit in the confines of so short a story.
