A Closed and Common Orbit, by Becky Chambers

A Closed and Common Orbit (Wayfarers, #2)A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky  Chambers

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is a thoroughly entertaining book that shows Chambers' skills well. We have two parallel narratives, one with Lovelace the embodied AI living with Pepper in current time, and a flashback to Pepper's origins. The stories weave together well and keep things fresh. It's an excellent followup to The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. Have fun with a classic SF piece
