The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

I was pretty disappointed in this book, sadly. It had been on my “To read” list for a while, but it just didn't grab me the way I'd hoped. Chambers does an awesome job envisioning aliens, and the reptilian society was particularly interesting and unhuman without being a cliche. The parasitic Ohan was also pretty fascinating. The rest of the characters, though, felt extremely one-dimensional. Kizzy in particular just irritated me every time she opened her mouth in the space version of manic pixie dreamgirl. It felt like the novelized version of a pretty bad Syfy space opera, something I've just seen to many times to really get into.
