I’m an absolute sucker for an AI/android story due to Detroit: Become Human forever altering my brain and gah do I love this one!! There are two timelines and two different, but intertwining, stories to follow with two different (and yet very similar) AIs. One of them has just been housed in an illegal synthetic body because even this far in the future, AIs are only seen as tools and are not allowed to have autonomous bodies, even the sentient ones. Of course this throws up a lot of questions and ethics and shit to ponder and this book has some veeeeery good bits on that. Absolutely bloody loved it. And this book healed the part of my heart the first one so rudely ripped out so that was very nice as well.
I love that Chambers goes into more detail of other cultures/societies that were only briefly touched upon in Long Way. Again, love the world-building. Can’t wait to read the rest!

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.
