Part of Wayfarers, #3

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.

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?

𝓣a’arion 📕 reviewed Unter uns die Nacht by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers, #3)

Utopie im Umbruch

4.0 stars

Der Roman zeichnet das Bild einer sozialistischen, abgeschlossenen Gesellschaft die sich im Umbruch befindet. Nachdem viele Generationen ohne Kontakt nach außen durchs All geflogen sind werden die Menschen seit einigen Jahren mit anderen Gesellschaftsformen konfrontiert.

Anhand von mehreren Personen wird aufgezeigt welche Konflikte entstehen können wenn ein kapitalistisch, technisch weiterentwickeltes Wirtschaftssystem bisherige Realitäten in frage stellt.

Wie auch die anderen Bände aus der Reihe von Becky Chambers ist der Text und auch die Übersetzung sehr angenehm zu lesen. Die Charaktere sind glaubhaft. Besonders begeistert mich aber die Darstellung der Gesellschaft als ganzes. Gerade durch die verschiedenen Perspektiven entsteht ein guter Eindruck.

Ein nuanciertes Gemälde der "Flotte" aus den Perspektiven verschiedener Protagonist*innen

3.0 stars

Aus verschiedenen Perspektiven wird die "Flotte" mit Leben gefüllt. Die Story an sich ist nicht spannend, aber schön zu lesen.

Michael Kovacs reviewed What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami

What It Feels Like To Be A Runner

5.0 stars

Really enjoyed this, even more that I thought I would. It’s a quick read, but so much of it resonated with me. I think there’s some small issues here and there, such as maybe the translation assuming the reader is a him, but I think it spoke to the core of why people run. In high school XC, the running line was that you had to be a little off to want to run XC, and this book did a great job at being able to explain it what ways we’re all a little off.
