I confess I read this twice because I wasn't expecting the pacing/plot to be what it was.

It's very much a space story focused on the characters way more than anything that actually happens - if that makes sense. Once I reread it with that in mind I enjoyed it a lot more.

There's a few moments in it that I absolutely loved and communicated things to me that I ardently knew to be true. It's also a relatively optimistic view into the future of humanity.

I will definitely be continuing this series.

Einfühlsam geschriebene Charaktere mit glaubwürdig dargestellten Gefühlen und Bedürfnissen in einem Universum der Vielfältigkeiten. Ich mag das Buch sehr gerne - auch beim zweiten Lesen.

a story that thrives on its characters

The basic storyline of this book is nothing entirely out of the ordinary: Space crew gets dangerous but lucrative job offer, travels to their destinations, stuff happens there and along the way. You can take the title literally: it's a long way but only a small planet (episode).

I liked the world building, but especially the way the protagonists interact with each other. It's a story that is, for once, not driven by toxic behavior and the inability to communicate, but instead based on empathy and mutual support. The characters belong to different alien and human races, they do sometimes face conflicts over their specific needs, but frequently try to find solutions that work for everyone. In some ways, it seemed like an enhanced and more diverse version of the "Firefly" crew to me (which I loved).

This is a read leaves you with more positive than negative …
