A Closed and Common Orbit

A lovely, cosy, found family sci-fi focussing on the two characters we saw departing the Wayfarer at the end of [b:The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet 25786523 The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers, #1) Becky Chambers https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1435140741l/25786523.SY75.jpg 42270825]: Pepper and Sidra (Lovelace).There are two narratives to follow in this book, the first immediately follows that departure from the Wayfarer and the other begins around 20 years (or, standards) earlier and shows us the story behind Pepper's comment that she was raised by an AI. As with the first book, this is a great story of misfits finding their place that is an inspiring, sometimes sad, tale set in a multispecies future space society. Just as beautiful as the first book but not a carbon-copy.
