PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
There are so many amazing things about this book which I have tried to cover in my review, but to sum it up in one word I found this book to be: Perfect! --Fantasy Book Review (Book of the Month; 10 out of 10) Becky Chambers' debut is a joyous, optimistic space opera ... Although it isn't shy about tackling Big Questions, Planet is a heart-warming debut novel that will restore your faith in science fiction (specifically) and humanity (in general). --Tor.com [A] wonderfully imaginative and quirky novel [...] It is hard to believe that this is Becky Chambers' first novel, as it is so well constructed, imaginative, and fluently written. --Strange Horizons One of the most enjoyable, brilliantly realized spacey SF novels I've read in ages. --James Smythe, author of The Echo and The Explorer Humane and alien, adventurous and thoughtful, vast in its imagination and wonderfully personal in the characters it builds. But above all else, it is joyously written and a joy to read. --Claire North, author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August A quietly profound, humane tour de force that tackles politics and gender issues with refreshing optimism. --The Guardian Great fun! --Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice
