A Closed and Common Orbit

What a lovely and heartfelt, book. While I enjoyed her first book, this one pulled me into the lives of the characters and their arcs more than “Long Way to Small Angry Planet.” Possibly because she focused on fewer characters than in the first book.

Close and Common Orbit is really a story of people discovering who they are, the importance of friendship and bonds, and the need we all have for companionship and to feel at home. I can't recommend it enough- we don't usually think of sci-fi as touching or moving, but this was both.
