The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

I'm not sure how I felt about this one, to be honest. I liked the world, and it was really easy to get into (from page one, actually), but all in all it didn't leave that much of an impression on me.

The book is very character-heavy, and they take precedent before what story there is in here. I actually really liked that aspect of it. Unfortunately most of the characters fell sort of flat for me. For some reason I just wanted to know more about Corbin (even if he is an asshole throughout the majority of it) and I really liked Ashby by the end, but because I was never properly invested in them, a lot of the dramatic and emotional moments didn't have much effect on me. There may have been too many characters? There are a few in there who seem like they never get the proper time to shine.

I liked it, but it's a shame that I can't stop thinking about how it could have been slightly more, because I loved the concept and I loved the idea a lot. It's still a worthy read, even if just for that.
