The Wayfarer is a small spaceship captained by Ashby and fueled by algae. It specializes in punching holes through sublayers of galaxy for transport paths between planets. Their new project is to punch a hole for possible alliance with a hostile species at the edge of Galaxy. And onward is a journey to an angry planet inhabited by the war-loving clans of the Toremi, and a journey of self discovery.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I bought without reading the blurb because of consistently seeing 5 star reviews for the book. I wasn\u2019t sure I would like the book as I started reading since science fiction is not something that I usually pick. But this is more like a fun story of love and friendship in a world inhabited by different species, not just humans. The novel reads like literary science fiction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why should you Read it<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. An action packed novel.
    \nNo, Its not.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Science fiction in all its glory with lots of scientific terms.
    \nNo, Its not.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here’s why you will love the book (apart from the fact that it was self-published at first, gathered a HUGE following, later bagged a book deal, got shortlisted for many awards and is fantabulous)<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    1. THE UNIVERSE :
    \nSpaceships. Other planets. Space markets – Brilliant. Original. Enough said.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    2. THE STORY OF MANKIND :
    \nHumankind is one of the lower species (Surprise!). There are two kinds of humans \u2013 the nomadic Exodans who had left the solar system and roam around in spaceships; \u00a0and Solans, who made their home on Mars.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    3. CHARACTERS :
    \nThere are humans; reptilian Aandrisks, graceful fighters called Aeluons, wealthy Harmagins and Artificial Intelligence systems. On board the Wayfarer we have Ashby, the Exodan Captain, Rosemary, a girl on the run from Mars with a secret; Sissix, an Aandrisk pilot; Kizzy and Jenks who are the technicians; Lovey, the artificial intelligence system, Dr. Chef a healer cum cook; Corbain, the scientist who supervises the algae for fuel and Ohan, the reclusive Sianat Pair and the Navigator of the ship. Each character gets sufficient build up for xe\u2019s (the book\u2019s way of addressing a character whose gender is unknown) own story.
    \n4. POLITICS :
    \nThe Galactic Commons are made up of a number of different species of all shapes and sizes, like a fictional\u00a0United Nations. The more I read the more I felt how close to real life politics it seemed to be.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    5. GENDER :
    \nFor Dr. Chef, gender changes with age. The Sianat pair are always addressed as \u2018they\u2019.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    6. DIVERSITY :
    \nThe cultural norms of different species are very very different from ours- some simpler and some complex. Aandrisks are most complex having three families- birth family, hatch family and feather family, each with its different dynamics.<\/p>\n

    The book puts forward the message of co-existence. For eg: the Aandrisks do not wear clothes. But Sissix does, inorder to not make the humans aboard uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    7. RACISM :
    \nThere are very few members of each species left and the only way life can go forward is if they co-exist. Still there are strands of racism that creep in.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    8. THEMES :
    \nI LOVE how wonderfully Chambers has beaded the themes, well spread out and not crammed.\u00a0 There are sections on cloning, sexuality across gender (and species), artificial intelligence, euthanasia, family bonds, the right to choose how you live, warfare and blind following of dogmas. The book also gives the message of harmonious co-existence amidst diversity.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The Long way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

     <\/p>\n

    I felt the book was less plot driven and more character centric with a fabulous world building. The journey to the small angry planet is only a spine on which Chambers has created a wonderful and original world. I kept relating it to the present world scenario, so perhaps this is a book that is much beyond “just a story”. The title is apt to the story line. It took me a few chapters to get into the book. When I started reading I did think the book is not worth the hype. But keep reading. It has a leisurely pacing as opposed to the fast story line one would expect from the blurb.<\/p>\n
