pfirsichmint 's review for:

2.75

I really enjoyed reading this, but it didn't blow me away. I like the characters and worldbuilding and would love to read more about them, but because the book never focused on any of them for too long I didn't really get emotionally invested. The titular long way felt really quite short, actually, and I wish we could have seen and felt the boredom and restlessness of the crew instead of just being told about it. In a way, this felt like reading about a voyage in a history book. Which I love and appreciate, I just was hoping to really connect to the characters and I didn't.
