The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet is an entertaining slice-of-life space opera about the crew of a ship called the Wayfarer. Reminiscent of Firefly and other sci-fi tv shows, the novel introduces details about the main cast through episodic stories. The journey to the small, angry planet is really the focus, not what will happen once they arrive. There is not a lot of tension, but the compelling human and alien characters, as well as the interesting universe full of alien cultures, make the story compulsively readable. I'm looking forward to reading A Closed and Common Orbit, Becky Chambers's next book in this universe!
