Record of a Spaceborn Few
by Becky Chambers
My first reaction on finishing was that nothing really happens, and that it felt more like a fictional documentary about life in the Exodan Fleet than a novel, but that's not really fair. The more I think about this one, the more I like it. The characters we follow change and develop, and all their stories come to a resolution. There's no gosh wow action setpieces (well, maybe one), and all the drama comes from characters talking and thinking. It's a very human story, full of compassion for people at all stages of their lives. It's also a well thought through and executed future setting, painting a convincing picture of far future off planet life. Another winner for Becky Chambers.
