The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
Did not finish book. Stopped at 76%.
How very underwhelming. I expected deep character analysis and I guess I don't understand what "cozy" is, because I don't consider the tackling of terminal illness, being held up at gunpoint and being beaten by your captors to be particularly comforting. I should've checked the content warnings for this book more closely.
The characters mostly had only one or two character traits, and anytime a minor communication issue occurred it was solved mostly off screen. The main thing I liked about this book was the budding romance between the alien and human, and basically anytime there was a focus on Sissix.
I just got too bored to finish it, really disappointed. I guess Wayfarers isn't for me.
