I’ve never read anything considered cozy sci-fi before, but this book might get me to add some more to the list. I needed an audiobook while painting and I had just read A Psalm for the Wild-Built and was excited to try something else by Bekcy Chambers. The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet follows the interspecies crew of a tunneling spacecraft on a yearlong journey. There’s a lot of really interesting race and gender stuff and some talk about personhood. What got to me the most about this book is how deeply kind the characters are. The journey is the good part with this book, which may be offputting for people who are looking for action, but I loved it. I’ve already put in an inter-library loan request for the second one because my library doesn’t have the audiobook.
