Every time I've started a Chambers book, it has been one of the best books I've ever read. Mostly because at the end of it, I feel really good about the people in the book. Becky Chambers Is a pretty great author, and I highly recommend her books. She definitely has a feel-good flavor to her works, but she does spend a lot of time some other writers neglect showing how these characters got here, and how thoroughly they thought their scenarios out, even if the character is still some sort of juvenile. Chambers is a VERY thoughtful writer, and one of my favorites

I finished The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet last week and just opened this book. It seems you've given me Pepper's backstory but it sounds interesting so it's okay. I found The Long Way a good novel beautifully written. In many places I was touched by the character's feelings about their experiences. It was very different from the usual science fiction I read like Peter F Hamilton. I am sorry to leave the other haracters behind. Thanks for the review which is so timely.

I've just finished watching I Am Mother, it reminded me of this book.

I love how they worked everything out at the end of the book.

I love this book and it's definitely my favourite in the series. Really like the way you break it all down in this video. Great stuff.

Pet peeve: reviewers saying Sidra is Lovey. I don't usually comment on this, as most reviews are spoiler-free. But this is not a minor oversight... The book is encouraging us to see AIs as sentient beings. Lovey died! This is the major sorrow from book one, especially for Jenks. In aCaCO, Sidra muses over whether she murdered Lovey!

I liked the second book the best. The third follows several character with interesting interactions & intersections. Great themes. Very different, but I liked it too.
