The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers is a wonderfully cozy sci-fi space adventure. Rosemary joins the crew of the Wayfarer, a tunneling vessel that punches openings in space-time for worm holes, and discovers much about the various species and worlds of the Galactic Commons, as well as a family along the way. The overall feel of this book reminded me a little bit of Martha Wells' Murderbot books, but it is ultimately extremely different and unique. I loved how affirming and positive this story was, while still having some suspense and thrills. I really enjoyed it, despite it being a little slower paced than my usual preferences. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
