Making my way through The Fifth Season by NK Jemison.

Have spent the summer going through popcorn stuff like this after a rigorous course of academic research over the last year (or, well, since last August).

Have gone through everything by Becky Chambers and then threw in Legends and Lattes by Thomas Baldree and Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aiko too.

As perhaps evidenced by having read far more of her than the others, Chambers comes out far ahead. But from each of these, I've gotten what I was looking for: something light, something fun, something to relax with that's not quite at Hollywood level of "turn your brain off".

As an endnote, of all of these, 5th Season is the worst of the lot, but it's not unbearably bad or anything. Just my least favorite so far.
