“If trying something new was valid, then keeping something old was, too…. Life meant death, always. But by the same token, death meant life.”

Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers

June 12, 2022 by Dome'Loki 3 Comments

Becky Chambers continues to keep me in awe of her writing.  Record of a Spaceborn Few is the third book in the “Wayfarer Series”.  It tangentially ties into the first book as one of the main characters, Tessa Santoso, is sister to Captain Ashby Santoso, of the spaceship Wayfarer, in A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.  This book is centered on The Exodus Fleet, the last humans to leave Earth when the environment collapsed hundreds of years ago.  They wandered for generations until […]

May 26, 2022 by LB Leave a Comment
