Becky is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I would read anything they write.

I knew nothing of this book going in except that I’ve loved all of Becky Chambers books and that still holds true!! Was this my absolute favourite of hers? No. Did I still really really enjoy it? Hell yes! I found the way she talks about science and discovery fascinating and god it made me wish I could be an explorer in space.

If you like her other work I highly recommend picking this up too!

I loved the planets and lifeforms explored in this book, and I enjoyed the lay-person science explanations. The characters, like many of Chambers', embody the best ideals of humanity with very few of the many many flaws.

I enjoyed this novella, but it wasn't my favorite Becky Chambers.

This book was incredible. I listened to the audiobook--a very pleasant 4 hours. It's like if The Martian and The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet had a baby. This is really something special.
