The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
by Becky Chambers
THIS BOOK!!!
Video review (spoiler free): https://bit.ly/3bPQLLL
Rosemary is a human who has grown up on Mars and she is about to join a tunnelling ship whose job it is to literally punch holes through space. Rosemary has led a sheltered life and is suddenly crewmates with all kinds of species with different cultures, religions and opinions. But Rosemary has a secret, as do some of the others, and when the ship takes a special assignment to a new part of the Galatic Commons, some of them start to come out.
I’ve heard so much hype and love about this book that there was part of me that was really putting off reading it for a long time. But I’m so, so glad I finally picked it up! This book is just so full of loveliness with characters that burrow right into your soul and heart and stay there. I love the different characters who have different ways of life and thinking and how Rosemary and the others all learn how to accept each other’s differences and also embrace them and help them live in harmony. The crew is one big happy, slightly dysfunctional (feather) family and it’s just nice, so nice. Think of shows like The Gilmore Girls and Hart of Dixie where there’s a cast of great, lovable characters and there’s drama but nothing extremely depressing or disheartening and that’s what you have with this book. I seriously just want Sissix to come to life, just so she can be my friend.
