“This did not mean that laws and rules were not helpful, or that explanations should not be sought, but rather that there should be no fear in changing them as needed, for nothing in the universe held still.”

The Galaxy, and the Ground Within (Wayfarers, #4) by Becky Chambers

June 5, 2021 by narfna 2 Comments

I’m sad this series is over, but I’m glad it exists, and this was a really good one to go out on. Like the other books in the series, there isn’t really a plot. The story is very character focused, and acts as a sort of slice-of-life. I say sort of, because the circumstances here are slightly out of the ordinary. The whole book takes place over five or so days on the planet Gora, essentially an interstellar truck stop because it intersects with so […]

The Five-Hop One-Stop at the End of the Universe

The Galaxy, and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers

May 11, 2021 by andtheIToldYouSos 1 Comment

Well, not exactly the end of the universe, but definitely the Restaurant at the End of the Wayfarers Series! While we’re speaking of restaurants, allow me to share with you one of the best (outside of Redwall, of course) feast descriptions that I have ever come across: “grilled quickbread, a hurriedly made batch of whitefish salad, tiny wraps of grain paper stuffed with nut butter and edible flowers, and the last of his smoked eel and crackers.” So very tempting- and I can barely tolerate […]

A tribute to the fitting end to a wonderful book series

The Galaxy, and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers

April 22, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

It’s with a bittersweet heart that I possibly inadvisably chose to finish reading this book, thus pushing out my overall bedtime much into “…now, really” hours. I both didn’t want it to end (there were supposed to be two hours left, and then I blinked and suddenly there was only 27 minutes left??) and very much wanted to see it end (see: “bedtime, inadvisable” above). The very first book in this series, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, is the very first book that […]

“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 […]

Slow at first, but absolutely worth it in the end

Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers

October 4, 2019 by Malin 2 Comments

From Goodreads: From the ground, we stand. From our ship, we live. By the stars, we hope Centuries after the last humans left Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from but few outsiders have seen. Humanity has finally been accepted into the galactic community, but while this has opened doors for many, those who have not yet left for alien cities fear that their carefully cultivated way of life is under threat. Tessa chose to stay home when her […]

Questions about Modernity and Ways of Life – But in Space

Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers

September 8, 2019 by Jen K 1 Comment

While Becky Chambers has already explained the circumstances of the descendants of Earth in broad strokes in her previous two Wayfarer novels, in this third novel, she shifts her attention to the remaining human fleet.  When Earth was on the brink of collapse, some people with resources started by colonizing planets and moons in the Solar System such as Mars.  Those left behind eventually had to deconstruct the cities and sky scrapers, and use those resources to create a fleet for the last of humanity […]
