    I’ve only read Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and while enjoyed it, I was not compelled to read on. It’s cute, kinda vanilla comparative to much of what I enjoy.

        “Don’t give a shit” is a rather harsh phrasing. I’ve read three of her stories and also enjoyed them, but didn’t find them too compelling. And that’s fine; not every book or author is a perfect match for everyone, and not every genre perfectly translates for all readers.

        I definitely see the appeal of her work, and I’m grateful for her contributions to the general SF/fantasy genres. I like that more “cozy” works like hers exist, and are popular. But also, it’s just not the kind of reading I’m into, and so be it.

        I just feel like she has a real grasp on what it’s like to be human even when writing as a robot or and alien. They are mostly cozy stories about navigating life and self discovery, and I think it really helps process how complicated the world is. Plus the sci-fi solar punk stuff is really cool.

        I just feel relaxed and warm reading her work.
