The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet might be my favorite book of the year. The characters are so round and dynamic. They're very fun to read about and even easier to love. I love that Rosemary's secret identity is just a talking point throughout the book. It's not the major linchpin to the plot. Some characters are more prominent than others in the story telling, but no one in the crew is more important than anyone else. I love them all and I'm devistated by the loss they face at the end. I look forward to living in and finding comfort in this world for the rest of the series!
