Just finished The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and it ruled. Highly recommend for anyone that enjoys slice of life stories, books with complex genders and politics sprinkled in, or sci-fi stories that don't revolve around combat prowess or stakes like "the fate of humanity" resting on one person's shoulders.
There's so much to digest and so many cool ideas. Alternatively, I could just keep reading more of the series
I wasnt sure what A Closed and Common Orbit would be like when I started it, but now having finished it, it was fascinating to have it - in what was a completely different story from the first book - explore many of the same themes about somebody's place in the galaxy and the sorts of values that can lead an otherwise disparate group of people to become a found family.
I really enjoyed it, and can't wait to read more from Becky Chambers in the future. She really nails the sort of "low galactic stakes, high personal stakes" space opera vibes I've been looking for lately
