I’ve loved the character interactions in other Becky Chambers books, and the character interactions just aren’t the focus of this novella. It was okay, but not what I look for when I think Becky Chambers.
Graphic: Suicidal thoughts and Suicide attempt

Becky Chambers is always great and this novella is no exception. To Be Taught follows four astronauts as the survey extra-solar planets and adapt to each's unique properties.. The story has a lovely classic hard sf feel with strong characters. Highly recommended.
