book talk goes here right?
Dec. 17th, 2018 02:29 pmYesterday I read A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers, a full nine months or more after reading Long Way to a Small Angry Planet; I enjoyed the first one although there was some stuff that was a bit weird. Again, enjoyed ACACO but found some stuff weird.
I really like Chambers' brand of 'cozy' sci-fi - it's a big cold galaxy out there but characters choose each other and choose to prioritise each other. Sidra is wonderful and I empathise deeply with her struggle to be her own person in an existence that was chosen and defined by others, and her complicated feelings about what she can expect from others and what they can expect from her.
Spoilers from hereon out.

On the other hand, I love Tak and I love Aeluons.
