   "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers and "Children   
   of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky.   
      
   I am still deciding if I want to read "Children of Ruin" as the   
   "Children Of Time" freaked me out.  It is in my SBR with 400+ other   
   books of which 200+ I have DNF'd.
