As You Wake, Break the Shell
Becky Chambers (Harper Voyager)
While not quite as cozy as the works that Hugo Award winner Chambers is best known for, there’s a huge beating heart at the center of this immersive sci-fi series starter. It follows space pilot Cora; Colibri, the massive extraterrestrial with whom she’s telepathically bonded; and florist Signy, whom they turn to for help hiding their “mindbleed.” Chambers imbues this meticulously crafted alien world with an impressive amount of humanity.
