A calico cat sitting upright next to a the book, "Record of a Spaceborn Few" by Becky Chambers.

“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 […]

An intimate story of friendship and its many forms, wrapped in a sci fi setting!

A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers

December 1, 2021 by Dome'Loki 6 Comments

If I’m nothing more than a tool, then I must have a purpose.  Tools have purposes, right?  But I’m more than that.  Pepper and Blue… have been telling me that again and again and again.  I know I’m more than a tool.” I was surprised to learn that the second book in Becky Chamber’s “Wayfarer Series” does not feature the same cast and pivots in a completely different direction.  I had become invested in everyone in The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet so […]

“From the beginning we have wandered. To this day, we wander still, but for all our travels we are not lost . We fly with courage and will undying.”

Record of a Spaceborn Few (Wayfarers #3) by Becky Chambers

March 25, 2021 by faintingviolet 3 Comments

It has been quite a while since I’ve had a truly lovely reading experience. I should have known that Becky Chambers would deliver the goods. When I read To Be Taught, if Fortunate in September of 2019 (godtopus I missed regular library service in 2020 and am glad to have it back) I was simply astounded at what it accomplished, and it was from that time my favorite of Chambers’ works, with A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet a very close second (I […]

The Empathy and Kindness of Becky Chambers

The Galaxy and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers

February 20, 2021 by murderofcrows 7 Comments

In her final installment of her Wayfarer’s series, The Galaxy, and the Ground Within , Becky Chambers continues to explore themes of friendship, diversity, cross cultural and cross species understanding. It is a beautiful book. Beautifully written and beautiful in that the heart of the author shines in her love of her characters and a deep respect she conveys for each being’s right to exist. Many have characterised Chamber’s writing as uplifting and comforting and that is no small thing in a genre rife with […]

Odds and ends and ramblings

December 9, 2020 by Bothari43 1 Comment

I have never before hit my CBR goal and then just stopped, but 2020 has sapped my motivation and willpower and wordpower. So these aren’t real reviews, but I did want to do a brief round-up of some of the books I’ve finished recently, because one was SO GOOD I needed to add my voice to the chorus of praise, and because one was SO disappointing I needed to growl about it for a sec. So here’s my Cannonball Lightning Round:   So You Want […]
