What can I say? I really love these Wayfarer books, which are cozy and poignant and all found-family-y.
A Closed and Common Orbit follows an AI named Sindra, a human named Pepper, both of whom are introduced in the previous book, and the family they have made. It's really good, very touching: I nearly started crying mid-work and it was only by the greatest strength of will that I avoided sobbing in public in the middle of my shift (but like, not a devestrating cry. A touched, warm crying).
Chambers makes very good use of character voice to differentiate the characters too. Overall, an extremely enjoyable experience and I am sad I need to wait for a few weeks before I can start the next.
