![]() The n ovel follows a small and rundown spaceship the Wayfarer, and its crew – a cast as loveable as it is colourful, a diverse mix of humans, aliens, and AIs, with well-handled representations of LGBT+ people, people of colour, and disabled people. The ‘doom and gloom’ rhetoric is not necessarily a bad thing – But it can get admittedly dull after a while, which is why Chambers is such a breath of fresh air to the sci-fi landscape. The book’s optimism is a true glowing light in a genre of dark, dramatic stories. It’s a feel-good and worldbuilding-rich space opera novel that delighted me from start to finish. The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet is Becky Chambers’ debut science fiction novel and the first instalment of the Hugo Award-winning anthology series Wayfarers. ![]() ![]() By Jessica Clifford-Jones | Review Editor ![]()
