Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers

4.5
Once again, Becky Chambers takes my heart, holds it close and then crushes it slightly.
Weird analogy but I'm sure you get the picture!
Chambers has such a fantastic way of writing a mundane yet compelling look at the far flung future and humanities place within it. This installment is a tale following the humans who fled earth when the ecosystem finally collapsed. Becky Chambers manages to capture the core good side of humanity and make you feel as though all are connected through a long grown cultural core.
I can't but love every character she introduces. Every character feels real, complex, and easy to sympathise with making the whole story such an emotional ride.
I can't recommend her wayfarers series enough, but if you want a cosy, found family, and easy to read scifi world: a long way to a small angry planet (her first book) is made for you.
