Having been “reborn” into this new life, she also decides to take on a new identity, adopting the name Sidra. of a starship, but due to complicated circumstances her programming had to be transferred into a highly realistic (and also extremely illegal) synthetic human body called a “kit”. Without going into too much detail, Lovelace was once the A.I. Now through their eyes, we get to experience another chapter of the Wayfarers saga, continuing the story from another point of view.
We first met Lovelace and Pepper from The Long Way, and while they might not have been among the key perspective characters, they nonetheless quickly won over readers’ hearts. In spite of this though, I have to say I most definitely enjoyed this book even more than its predecessor. The greatest departure is perhaps the novel’s format and style, which tightens the scope of the story to focus on the only two characters returning for this follow-up (explaining its standalone status and why reading the first book is not a requirement before tackling this one). However, if you’re jumping on board this one immediately following the first book, you might also find yourself surprised by the many differences. In the same spirit of The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, its sequel A Closed and Common Orbit likewise tackles the themes of life, love, and the exploration of interpersonal, social, and cultural ideas.
