Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers
4.0
These books are so brilliantly and beautifully crafted.
I didn't like this one as much as the second book, but that's really all relative as they are completely separate entities and do not necessarily rely on each other. This Wayfarers book focuses on the Exodus fleet, with Ashby's sister as the connecting character to bridge the books (the reader is told at the beginning of the novel that the events of this book take place immediately after the events of book 1). It was far more human-centric than the other two in the series, at once foreign and familiar.
Perhaps even more so than the first two books, this is not a big giant epic drama. This is a slice of life sci fi where we get to watch ordinary people do ordinary things and contemplate the meaning of life, the meaning of progress, the meaning of being a decent individual, and how we all fit together in this ever-expanding wonderful universe.
I will read anything Becky Chambers writes in the Wayfarers' universe.
