I already own the third book and have an eARC of the fourth one so hopefully I won’t leave those as long as I did this one □ While I did put the book down half way through because I wasn’t that invested, by the end I liked it a lot and was very happy that I’d read it. I liked the ending a lot, it was very much a feel good ending haha. While I did guess what would happen a bit before it did, I really liked it and I didn’t guess it too early. I did however love how both perspectives came together towards the end of the book. In my opinion, there was even less of a plot than in the first book but maybe I just liked the storyline in the first book better haha. This is just not that kind of book, so be prepared for that. So, the easiest way to stare reality in the face and not utterly lose your shit is to believe that you have control over it.” That was definitely one of my favorite parts of the first book so I was hoping for more of that. We get to see a lot less different species compared to the first book, which was a bit of a disappointment. Then there is Jane, a young girl living in a factory. There is Lovelace or now Sidra, who has to deal with her new body and finds a friend in Pepper. We follow two different perspectives in this book. #A closed and common orbit full#The planet was full of people, and they were beautiful and horrible, too.” ![]() I just didn’t see where this book was going. And while I usually don’t mind that, I wasn’t completely invested this time around. These books are definitely much more focused on the characters than on a plot. And partly because while I really liked these characters, I didn’t really ‘like’ the story so to say. Partly because I wanted a continuation of the first book, and this wasn’t it. I had some trouble with this one at first. We also get to see a very different side of the universe. There is one character in here that was also in the first book but that’s pretty much is. Because while this is a sequel, this is pretty much a standalone story. At first however I was pretty disappointed. I absolutely loved The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet so of course I wanted to read the sequel. “Are we going for an anchor or a compass? A memory to ground you, or a spark to guide you forward?” But these covers I do love! They’re simple yet display the vibe of the story. ![]() I probably wouldn’t even pick them up if I saw them in a store. The original covers for this series (I think they are the US ones….) are not my thing at all. A Closed and Common Orbit (Wayfarers, #2) by Becky Chambers When she joined the crew of the Wayfarer, an intergalactic ship, she got more than she bargained for - and learned to live with, and love, her rag-tag collection of crewmates.Ī Closed and Common Orbit is the stand-alone sequel to Becky Chambers' beloved debut novel The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and is perfect for fans of Firefly, Joss Whedon, Mass Effect and Star Wars. The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet introduced readers to the incredible world of Rosemary Harper, a young woman with a restless soul and secrets to keep. Together, Pepper and Lovey will discover that no matter how vast space is, two people can fill it together. As Lovelace learns to negotiate the universe and discover who she is, she makes friends with Pepper, an excitable engineer, who's determined to help her learn and grow. When she wakes up in an new body, following a total system shut-down and reboot, she has no memory of what came before. Lovelace was once merely a ship's artificial intelligence. And I finished it in no time! So today I have my review for you all. I realised that I listened to half of the audiobook already and decided to pick it back up. ![]() In last week’s 5 On My TBR I talked about reading A Closed and Common Orbit. ![]()
