I trust her, but your review does make it sound very tempting!I know you like your hard sci-fi, and this is more about what it means to care for other people, whether those people are blobby, lizardy, or an AI. This book sounds excellent – adding to the TBR I eased into this novel smoothly, though I know some folks in my book club struggled. There's friendly Captain Flanders, chirpy lady engineer Flanders, friendly dwarf Flanders... you get the idea. If I started describing my favorites, I’d end up naming almost everyone, which we don’t have time for here today. Okay, so A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet was recommended to me as a hilarious, comforting space found family story. Nonetheless, I could not put this book down. Each member has their own idiosyncrasies but by accepting their differences, they become more than just an effective team, they become a family.

Can the Diversity aside, Chambers writes some great science fiction. It’s not that this is bad, but I have so many books that I own that I need to get through, too. Based on what you’ve said about it here though, I really shouldn’t put this one off too long! This one has long been on my want-to-read list but I’m confident I’ll want to read the whole series and that makes it a bit more daunting to get started. The story is written in the third person and alternates between the different perspectives of the main characters.

Way more fascinating than something like Star Trek where everyone looks basically human.True!

Did you think it was worth it?Yes!

Plot-wise, the One elusive character, Ohan, is from a planet of people who get infected with a virus that allows them to see the space-time continuum, necessary while the ship punches out a new wormhole and something no other species can see.

There’s even attention to eugenics: should a shorter human like Jenks, who possibly has dwarfism (it’s not stated outright) have been euthanized as an infant? Dr Chef - The ship's Grum doctor and cook.
If I started describing my favorites, I’d end up naming almost everyone, which we don’t have time for here today.

I love how science fiction has the capacity to help us imagine solutions to our current situations too. Chef, a Grum, is the sage doctor and cook for the crew (he makes a mean grilled Red Coast Bug).

I didn’t listen to the audio book, but a few book clubbers often do. Again, I could go on forever about what I liked most about this book.There is not a large portion of the story devoted to f/f relationships, so if that is a necessary aspect for you in your reading, then this book won’t be for you. Chambers has created a magnificent world teeming with so many different species, cultures and planets it is simply awe inspiring. It’s a great book for the pandemic and with your political turmoil in the Philippines because it asks us to look at people different from us and how to coexist.Oooh, great point. I really like the point you make about Chambers not telling the reader what to think, but rather letting readers decide for themselves.

I absolutely love books that let bold/eccentric/surprising characters exist without judgment – that was one of the things I loved in So We Can Glow (which I think we’ve talked about a little bit). Given the right push, you, too, could do horrible things. That is a choice that every sapient must make every day of their life.


Being a smaller, less equipped ship, it is not an overly lucrative occupation for its rag tag crew, but it does allow for a very comfortable life. I later learned part of the problem might be that it’s hard to follow along on audio book. Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)
