‘Life is terrifying. None of us have a rule book. None of us know what we're doing here. So the easiest way to stare reality in the face an not utterly lose you s*** is to believe that you have control over it”

I pretty much love everything Becky Chambers writes so this being a 5-star read is not a surprise for me. An AI in human form is something I haven't read yet surprisingly (although the Ann Leckie series that does this is on my list). “A Closed and Common Orbit” had more conflict than the other books I've read by Chambers but it was still a cozy sci-fi nonetheless. If you are interested in reading a cozy sci-fi about an AI in a human body you actually do not have to read the first book in the series to read this one, although I recommend that one too! There are some nice twists in this novel too which is a nice addition as I don't recall any in the first one or in the Monk and Robot series.

I really look forward to reading the next one in the series!
