The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.

Slow and not really attention grabbing. The way that all of these characters are so casual about racial slurs being used towards each other during stressful times is wild! (Not current slurs but what is considered to be a slur to these more alien species). I’m an hour in and I see nothing that makes me care for the captain or rosemary or whatever secrets the two have. I’m just not really hooked and the casual racism to the other species that they have been around for so long apparently is absolutely just not something I’m interested in dragging myself through. It’s a shame because the book itself (plot wise) sounds fun and adventurous but I just don’t wanna bog through all this in hopes of it becoming fun later on.
