4.5

A great follow-up to the first book, though fairly different in many ways. It's a bit slower and more character-driven, focusing on a smaller cast of primary characters (see spoiler here if you want to know which ones)
This book focuses on Lovelace and Pepper; the rest of the Wayfarer crew is not featured.
It also has slightly "deeper" themes, focused on personhood, autonomy, and family.
