Libration

In diesem Buch werden zwei Charaktere aus buecher.pnpde.social/book/15566/s/der-lange-weg-zu-einem-kleinen-zornigen-planeten aufgegriffen und es erzählt in abwechselnden Kapiteln etwas über jeweils eine der Protagonistinnen. Beide Charaktere müssen sich mit ihrer jeweiligen Andersartigkeit beschäftigen. Das ganze ist wieder eingebettet in ein progressives Universum der Vielfalt das mit schon im vorherigen Band gut gefallen hat.

And I loved the first book. This one for me benefitted heavily from having less characters, so you were able to get a better feel for everyone overall and learn about them on a deeper level.

Pepper's background story was great to go through. Even with the time jumps, you felt like you were actively watching her grow and mature in the storyline. It also heavily covers the reasons that Pepper is so keen on people being more accepting of AI as being close enough to human to care about.

Lovey trying to figure out how to be ok being in a body that she did not pick out was an unexpected twist that I would not have thought about. Chambers really made me look at a lot of things from a different angle with this book and that's always a good thing.

My one complaint would likely be that the ending just felt a little rushed. I didn't really feel like I was lacking any story, it just felt like a little too much happened in too short of a time.

This book is not about whether (g)AI could be people. It is about how does it feel when someone doesn't see personhood in you or in someone you love.

Le tome 2 des Voyageurs. Du coup je m’attendais à retrouver l'équipage du tome 1. Pas du tout ! Par contre l'histoire est centrée sur des personnages déjà présent dans le tome 1. L'histoire est la quête d'identité et de sens de deux personnes, l'une humaine et l'autre IA. Comme le premier tome c'est bien écrit, et on attend qu'une chose : lire le tome 3 !

More feel-good scifi. (No spoilers:) It's Pepper backstory, and another minor character from A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. I think this one benefits a lot from taking it slowly and focussing on just two characters.

A wonderful sequel

This book went an entirely different direction from the first in the series, yet it was just as enjoyable. My favorite part of the book was the structure in which the two stories were told in parallel, coming together into a great finish. Can't wait for the third one!
