It was thematically very rich and I loved the characters and I thought the plot was great. It was a little slow paced which is probably why it wasn't a complete five star but like it's been nine months and I still think about it.

I do also like the sequel but the first book was such a fun surprise. I was completely captivated and I loved it and normally it's hard for me to make time for an audiobook and I was scheduling more and more walks just to finish it because I was just so enthralled and immersed in this story.
This is like the best sci-fi I've read all year so it couldn't not be on this list. I just love these stories. I can't wait to reread them, they are perfect for me in terms of when I want philosophical science fiction.
It's not about the oppressor or the authoritarian regime, it's about these people and how they adapt and it's beautiful and there's a lot happening and every time I discuss it I love this story more and more.
It is really interesting and really hard for me to recommend universally. It discusses a lot of hard heavy themes, especially with our character Tan-Tan who goes from this really technologically advanced place to the parallel universe version of it that is low technology. I really do recommend reading it if you want to challenge yourself with like a different world.
I was reading it with a bunch of friends and I was like oh my god I love this book. It's not a five-star read because it's not perfect it's actually quite jarring at times but I love like I said the world building, I love General Jedao, I love Cheris.
The reason why this one is where it is on the list is because I was a little jarred going into it because I wasn't with the characters I wanted to be with but it was still really awesome, I still loved the world building.
It's about her internal journey, it's about this community and I really liked it. I thought they packed such a big punch in just this many pages it was phenomenal. I do not buy novella copies very often and I bought the hardback of this one because it was a stunning tale.
It is the most abstract writing I have ever read and it should not have worked for me but it did. I was very emotionally impacted by this and whenever a story emotionally impacts me I just… it becomes a favor.
It is a really lovely story about discovery and traveling and science for the sake of science. It's really interesting and I really liked it as a scientist. While reading, it gave me warm fuzzy feelings which is why it's my number 10.
