My review:????

Record of A Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers 3) is set on the generation ships called the Exodus Fleet, that humans left Earth on. 

We see the lives of a number of people – Sawyer, who wants to try new things, and looking for a place to belong.  Tessa, sister of Ashby from the Wayfarer, and her family, who is thinking about her place in the Fleet.  Kip, who is a young student, who has a friend who leads him into all sorts of trouble.  We also see the Fleet through the eyes of an alien who has come to visit.

I really enjoyed this book which feels like a quiet series of books.  Things happen, but what you’re mostly seeing is the day to day of a number of people.  

Record of A Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers 3) was published on 24th July 2018 and is available on Amazon, Waterstones, Bookshop.org.

My review:????

A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers 2) is the aftermath of The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, with Lovelace, the former Wayfarer’s AI, now in a body, and away from the Wayfarer, with Pepper there to help her.

Lovelace is going to try to find a new place for herself in the world, with Pepper’s help.  We also have flashbacks to Pepper’s life from when she was young, and on a world where she had been made to fit a purpose.  

I was expecting to be on the Wayfarer for this entire series, but I’m assuming it’s part of the series as it’s to do with a former shipmate!  I enjoyed being on a planet for a book, and seeing how Lovelace adapts, by doing things like changing her name to Sidra.

A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers was published on 20th October 2016 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

My review:????

The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley is set in the distant future, where the military uses a form of transport that changes you into light, and sends troops into battle on Mars.  Dietz is our protagonist, who has recently joined the infantry, and begins to experience battles that don’t match with those of the others he was sent with.

This is a sci-fi book, but one where you’re trying to work out if Dietz is confused, having memory issues, or if there’s something else going on!  I enjoyed the story, and trying to puzzle out what was going on.  It made me think of Edge of Tomorrow a little.

The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley was published on 19th March 2019, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

My review:?????

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers 1) is a book that I read *checks GoodReads* in January 2018, and I really enjoyed it, so when I got the opportunity to read the fourth book in this series, I was excited!  So yes, I’ll be reading and reviewing books 2 and 3 this month!

We’re introduced to the crew of the Wayfarer, and taken on a journey across the galaxy.  There are aliens, tech implants, AI, and a way of punching through the galaxy to make short cuts!  The crew of the Wayfarer can do this, and have been hired to journey for a year for a punch, and they have a new member of the crew, Rosemary, which means we get to understand more about the crew.  I liked the AI, Lovey, on the ship, along with her relationship with the rest of the crew.

There’s so much that I enjoyed about this book, and I’m excited to read the next one!  I feel the universe of this series is big enough that it’s going to be entertaining!

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers 1) was published on 29th July 2014, and is available to buy from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
