joachim reviewed The galaxy, and the ground within by Becky Chambers
Five aliens stranded at a galactic gas station discover the ground they have in common
4 stars
I like Becky Chambers, and the way she portrays common people, or common aliens as people. Her characters are not defined only by their galactic race. They have their own histories, their own agencies, that may or may not be dictated by the world they come from. One of the most desirable future I've read, without being written as an utopia.
