This is my first time reading this novel and I’ve had this series on my TBR for way too long! I’m excited to read this together with you all, for the first time! It promises to be a fun filled, scifi romp through the cosmos aboard the Wayfarer, out titular ship who’s adventures we will be following in this book. It’s going to be a chaotic and crazy ride! Strap yourselves in! I loved, loved, loved this book! It was such a fun read, I was so glad when I found out that there are more in the series! CHARACTERS. My god, the personalities were fantastic! T he Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet Audiobook Free. This was excellent novel/series for me due to the fact that what I enjoy in the novel is well-crafted characters. Chambers had simply that. I can not claim who I liked the most because every personality had an unique voice and I was able as a viewers to connect per of them in various ways. I've been looking forward to this sequel for some time and I feel kind of sad it STILL took me so long to get a copy of it! It follows two of the most interesting characters from The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, Lovelace and Pepper, but it does so by filling in the gaps, jumping from the past to the future following the end of the first book. Artis Corbin – Human, and the ship's algaeist. With a short temper, and not as friendly as the rest of the crew, he prefers not to leave the algae labs where he grows the Wayfarer's fuel.

This was a hard thing to rate. Thankfully I knew going in that this might not be for me. In fact I put it off for ages - cosy slice of life didn't appeal to me, even if it is sci-fi - but I eventually bought and read it a) because the amount of glowing recommendations really piled up over time, b) because I was just coming off the grimdark military sci-fi of Gaunt's Ghosts and wanted something more chill and optimistic as a palate cleanser, and c) because I wanted a space opera that might remind me of the downtime in Mass Effect games. Chapter 10: The Wane: We meet Ohan, Sianat Pair of The Wayfarer, looking out the window of their quarters. They are experiencing the first stage of The Wane: stiffness and muscle spasms. Eventually their body would continue to degrade and break down. Ohan is afraid, even if the infection was sacred. Only Chef and Ashby know that Ohan has begun to Wane. When writing or discussing the book, start out by writing where in the book you got your information from. Much of this book, and this series in general, looks at how the intertwined histories of everyone make up a galactic culture that thrives best when everyone is given space to be themselves and value one another. Chambers excels at placing topics from our present day into the sci fi universe and interacting with them in exciting ways that flesh out that universe, such as Tak being the Aeluon “shon” gender, which means Tak switches between reproductive organs and is called he or she depending on the present configuration. And everyone understands and adapts and it’s lovely because honestly it's not hard. We also see how much of the hurt in the universe is from someone trying to lord power over another, or not valuing the existence of another species. For example, Sidra being an AI in a body kit is actually very, very illegal in the galaxy and if caught she will be destroyed, so much of her fears is adapting to “pass” as human and all the existential crises of having to have a self.Life aboard the Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary wants. It’s also about to get extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of a lifetime. Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitely lucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life wasn’t part of the plan. In the far reaches of deep space, the tiny Wayfarer crew will confront a host of unexpected mishaps and thrilling adventures that force them to depend on each other. To survive, Rosemary’s got to learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs—an experience that teaches her about love and trust, and that having a family isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the universe.

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

The crew heads to Port Corial to get supplies. Jenks speaks to Pepper, because he wants a body suit for Lovey. Pepper warns him that this is a bad idea, but she agrees to do it for a friend. Jenks – The Wayfarer's other technician. Human and shorter than most people in the Galactic Commons, but chooses not to get this changed.Another book in the challenge down! I really, really enjoyed this book. I think it can be best summarized as a slice-of-life, feel-good sci-fi adventure. It was definitely something that I haven't really come across, and now it's definitely something that I want more of! Tresha. It was the thankful, humble, vulnerable feeling that came after someone saw a truth in you, something they had discovered just by watching, something that you did not admit often to yourself.”

Though at first glance it doesn't seem to push any boundaries or tread particularly new ground, I think in some ways it actually expands the scope of what it means to be 'science fiction.' Obviously there are aliens, and it's the future and it takes place in space, but all of that is mostly happenstance, tangential. It explores culture and humanity the same way the best social sci-fi novels do, but without seeming like it's trying to make a statement. It utilizes inclusion and gives voices to atypical characters without making a particular point to do so. When it comes down to it, honestly not much actually happens! It just is. It just floats along and asks a question we all kind of wonder about and tells a story in the process just as naturally as our lives tell a story. It's about who we are and where we come from, about what we do next and what the future will hold, and isn't that okay? Does it need to be exciting or satirical to be 21st century sci-fi? Trippy or challenging? Does it have to be new to be progressive? This makes a great case that the answer is no, which sort of makes it new in the process. :) Hey, I’m Matthew and I’m 15. r/Fantasy doesn’t really seem to have a lot of teenagers, openly at least, talking about books and what they think them, and I’ve seen a few threads from other teenagers trying to get engaged more with others their age who read Fantasy (because god knows they’re few and far between), so I thought why not start doing a review series from the perspective of a teenager. Fingers crossed, it’ll encourage discussion between teenagers (and maybe even those pensioners whose age doesn’t end with ‘teen’) about fantasy books and help them meet some cool people in the process. Add me on Goodreads! It’s time for the first punch, and it’s very confusing and timey-wimey and Rosemary throws up afterwards. Ashby receives a letter in the mail from Pei. Jenks receives info from Pepper about someone who’s selling a body suit. And then we have the search for identity and sensation and the deepest need to be free to reprogram oneself and live the fullest life that one can.Upload images (When uploading images ensure correct source and licensing is listed and included in the file description) Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through space—and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the meaning of family in the far reaches of the universe—in this light-hearted debut space opera from a rising sci-fi star. From Sissix, the exotic reptilian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the chatty engineers who keep the ship running, to the noble captain Ashby, life aboard is chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary wants. That is until the crew is offered the job of a lifetime tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet. Sure, they'll earn enough money to live comfortably for years, but risking her life wasn't part of the job description. Things that did not quite work for me. I'll start with the biggie. The book is one giant Barney, The Purple Dinosaur Adventures in Space. I love you, you love me, we are a happy family and so on. And to be completely honest, Barney is one of the worst role models for children in my opinion.
