A question sci-fi has been asking since the birth of sci-fi, what is considered life? What makes a person, a person? We follow a human raised by and AI, and an AI being raised by that human, but also how they raise themselves in environments they weren't intended for. Both "sentients" were created for a purpose, but grew outside of that intended purpose, and struggle through what it means to be more than what you were made for.charlotteschapter's review

This book was heartfelt and emotional in the best of ways, from the interactions between characters to the descriptions of memories, to the heart-wrenching low moments of the two main characters when they hit their lowest points. Without giving anything away, it's the story of two who are more alike than they know trying to make it through their respective journeys and managing the hiccups that come up along the way. I deeply appreciated the world building, much as I did with Chambers' first book, and I can't wait to read the next one when I have a chance.
