About this listen

The Sunday Time best seller.

From the ground, we stand. From our ship, we live. By the stars, we hope.

The incredible new audiobook by Becky Chambers, author of the beloved The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.

#SpacebornFew

Centuries after the last humans left Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from but few outsiders have seen. Humanity has finally been accepted into the galactic community, but while this has opened doors for many, those who have not yet left for alien cities fear that their carefully cultivated way of life is under threat.

Tessa chose to stay home when her brother, Ashby, left for the stars but has to question that decision when her position in the Fleet is threatened.

Kip, a reluctant young apprentice, itches for change but doesn't know where to find it.

Sawyer, a lost and lonely newcomer, is just looking for a place to belong.

When a disaster rocks this already fragile community, those Exodans who still call the Fleet their home can no longer avoid the inescapable question:

What is the purpose of a ship that has reached its destination?

Teenage angst in a light space environment. Very slight movements in plot. A safe play.

Becky chambers books are amazing, but they don't really have a strong leading plot line. personally I love that you are just witnessing people living their life and exploring what it means to be human but if you are looking for a si-fi with lots of action and drama, this isn't it

another great story

I love this series so much, Chambers creates magic and wonder!
the narrator was nice, great job using different voices for different characters without it being weird or annoying

So many unnecessary details. I couldn’t finish it - I tried a few times but just couldn’t do it. I don’t have a short attention span nor do I dislike details but man, this was agonizing for me. If the details helped me connect with the characters, enrich the story or paint interesting visuals… but no.

Incredibly boring
