The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
Becky Chambers · 2014
A ragtag spaceship crew tunnels wormholes for a living. Chambers's 2014 debut prioritizes kindness and found-family over conflict, a deliberate inversion of space opera conventions. Whether this is refreshing or toothless depends on the reader.
