A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet – Becky Chambers

Loved this book – it’s the story of the crew of a ship that builds wormhole tunnels, who are suddenly forced to go the long way around for their next job. The crew are not all human, which is great, so you get treated to a whole variety of people with incredibly different backgrounds. And this really is a story about people – it’s the relationships of everyone on the crew. The actual mission they’re on is fairly incidental to the story. Which is a refreshing difference for a sci fi novel – they’re usually much less about relationships than other speculative fiction types tend to be.
