The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet – Becky Chambers
This book is a new favorite of mine – it’s wonderfully progressive, utterly subversive and all-around an absolute delight to read. The plot is fairly straightforward – our female protagonist joins a motley space crew who are about to undertake a journey of a lifetime. But the joy really is in the journey, not the destination; as friendships are formed, bonds are broken, cultures clash and the threat of war looms over them all. Both absolutely hilarious and staggeringly profound, nine strangers must learn to live with one another, and lean on one another, in order to survive. I can’t recommend this one highly enough.
