Day 3 of the Micro.blog Book Challenge Sprint đź“š#mbmay

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell

Earth’s first mission to visit another planet’s civilization, led by a Jesuit. It’s profound and unsettling. A “realistic” sci-fi story that stayed with me.

@macgenie It’s been years since I read it, but I found it too unsettling. I didn't read the next in series.

@Miraz I liked the second book too, and it brought the story further in a good way. But I haven’t reread either...

@jsonbecker Yes. The science aspect was easier to take than the human story.

@macgenie This has been on my WTR list for a while. May have to bump it up.
