what?
this book was a mess, the alien motivation was incomprehensible. spock and kirk were so out of character and the authors elevated vulcans to godlike strength and superiority. it was not enjoyable to read.

I think Ali Hazelwood should start writing academic dramas instead of romance.

great writing style but boring content and the random violence she encounters doesnt really add up to anything. couldn't decide if i liked the ending or not, but it was the most exciting part of the book
Dungeons and Drama by Kristy Boyce

Very cute, nerdy and well done YA. I like musicals and dnd so this was right up my alley. I'm still side eyeing the fact that originally the only woman in the DND group is an evil seductress using men to buy her stuff (c'mon its 2024) but we get Riley and Hoshiko in the end so yay :)
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
3.0
heavy on the worldbuilding, light on plot and mediocre on character development/relationship.
I really enjoyed all the alien culture and backstory to the world they live in. The characters themselves I never felt more for, characters that were actually interesting like Ohan hardly ever got page time. Nothing of actual importance happens until the last 100 pages. And Ashby kind of has a corny speech.

I enjoyed the concept and the pov of Ansel, Lavender and Saffy. I liked Blue as well. It didn't really emotionally grip me enough and the writing style started to annoy me towards the end. I am anti death penalty so I like the discussion this can provoke.
