Record of a Spaceborn Few Review

 

 

This book is the third in the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers. The first two were A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and A Closed and Common Orbit. Click on the titles to read my reviews!

Record of a Spaceborn Few follows five different Exodans (humans who have left Earth and are now living by wandering around space in big spaceships) aboard the ship Asteria. They are:

  • Tessa, a working mom and sister of Ashby from the first book in this series
  • Isabel, an elderly Archivist
  • Kip, a teenager with growing pains
  • Eyas, a caretaker who usually leads funerals
  • Sawyer, originally from the planet Mushtello, looking for a job 

While each of their stories seem separate at first, they eventually all come together towards the end. Like all of Becky Chambers's books, this story offers a lot of cool sci-fi worldbuilding and a lot of philosophy. 

This book was so great! I just love cozy sci-fi. There's also good queer and disability representation as well. I gave this one 4.5 stars.
