A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers

5.0

A engrossing and thought provoking sequel to the first in the series which I like as much as if not more than the original. Though it could be a standalone novel, I love that we get to deeply know and flush out the histories and psyches of some characters we didn't get to see as much of in the first book. I don't even know who is my favorite POV in this book, each of the characters are all incredible and fascinating. No spoilers, but this book is essentially a thought experiment done very, very well, and still very engaging despite a less action-packed plot.
