What is Reddit's opinion of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers Book 1)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

A book you want is The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers.

​

Nothing really epic happens in this book, which is what makes it so good. It just follows the crew of a ship that (best way to describe it) plots hyperspace routes on an adventure to plot a route further than anyone has gone before. Again, this is less full of sci-fi tropes and more character interaction. I recommend it to anyone. Also, it is a civilian ship, so no military.

​

I liked Firefly, and I liked this, they are different, but have lots of similarities.

Makes sense. I'd check with Main street Books/Second Flight. They're (now) owned by the same folks, so they probably have a good line on any book clubs.

If you want a good "entry" book to SF/fantasy, check out Becky Chambers - specifically, the Wayfarer series. Here's a link to the first one. They're very wholesome, lovely books. There's not exactly romance in them, but in her books, everyone is doing their best and nobody wants to hurt anyone else.

Besides Chambers, there's a decent number of SF/fantasy books that are also thrillers, mysteries, and romance! I think the book club just read Project Hail Mary, which was definitely thriller-esque.

I hate it when people post screenshots that show me only what they want me to see.

It has over 7200 reviews and 4.4 stars.

Stop going out of your way to be offended. JFC.

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers --I bought this one but just noticed today that it was on kindle unlimited. An easy but well written sci fi book. I have a hard time caring about characters in Sci Fi books (I don't know why this has been the case for me, but it has) but I did give a shit about the characters in this book.

Becky Chambers, The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and sequels

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet is $1.99 on Amazon kindle right now. I picked it up the other day and binged thru it...someday I'll learn not to start reading a book at 1030 when I have to work the next day...lol. It was well worth the price, I enjoyed it and will probably get the next one too

Just thinking about it and re-reading your post, have you looked at Charles Stross's Laundry Files? If you liked The Dresden Files these may be right up your alley...

Audible Narration is the associated Audible audiobook. Here's an example that isn't part of the free Prime offerings:

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

The Kindle edition is on sale today for $1.99. Additionally, you can "Add Audible narration to your purchase for just $12.99." That's not such a great deal, but frequently, the combined price of the Kindle edition plus the discounted Audible version add up to less than the cost of a credit, making that the cheaper option (usually not a *lot* cheaper, but worth checking if you're on a tight budget). The discount used to be a lot better a lot more often, but scrolling through the Matchmaker, I do see some Audible versions of Kindle books I already own for under $8.
