I enjoyed this book very much! The characters were all very memorable and well thought out. The universe Chambers has created is very in-depth and populated by some fascinating races, each with their own great stories. I'm invested in the crew of the Wayfarer now and will gladly continue along with their adventure! This was an excellent story built around a ship's crew, with interesting thoughts about the nature of friendships, family, cultures, and societies introduced through the alien characters. But these don't intrude upon the integrity of the story; they're just there. I will say, though that couple of the main characters struck me as very heavily based upon TV characters. But I got past that idea and just enjoyed the characters for their own sakes. And I won't say which characters or which TV shows, lest I unfairly influence your own perceptions. I do look forward to picking up the sequel. [Audiobook Note: The reader's rhythm, at first, made me contemplate returning the book. There were so many pauses that seemed to me to be distractingly long. But either I got used to them or she quit making them so long. I'm glad I stuck with it. Other than the pauses, she did an excellent job of voicing the different characters.] PremiosDistincionesListas de sobresalientes
Rosemary Harper doesn't expect much when she joins the crew of the aging Wayfarer. While the patched-up ship has seen better days, it offers her a bed, a chance to explore the far-off corners of the galaxy, and most importantly, some distance from her past. An introspective young woman, she's never met anyone remotely like the ship's diverse crew, including Sissix, the exotic reptilian pilot, chatty engineers Kizzy and Jenks, who keep the ship running, and Ashby, their noble captain. Life aboard the Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy-exactly what Rosemary wants. It's also about to get extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of a lifetime. Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitely lucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life wasn't part of the plan. In the far reaches of deep space, the tiny Wayfarer crew will confront a host of unexpected mishaps and thrilling adventures that force them to depend on each other. To survive, Rosemary's got to learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs-an experience that teaches her about love and trust, and that having a family isn't necessarily the worst thing in the universe.

El abrazo cálido y reconfortante que supone el principio de la novela de Becky Chambers se le unen los personajes de los que te enamoras y la construcción de un universo propio increíblemente rico en el que hablar de racismo, género y humanidad.
Tanto en el cine como con las lecturas soy muy emocional, y a un libro que me ha hecho llorar más de una vez, reírme a carcajada o incluso desear estar o ver un “Tet” en persona; no puedo ponerle menos que 5 estrellas. No sabia que necesitaba esta novela en mi vida hasta que la he leído. ( )
