Review of 'The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet' on 'LibraryThing'

5 stars

I love these books they make me happy. The characters are all people/individuals with their own motivations, hopes, fears, confusions etc, even though only about half the characters are human. The aliens are aliens and not just "humans with stuck on ears and green skin". Read it, and then read all the others. The universe-building is also outstanding.
