Another Hopeful Fool reviewed A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers, #2)
I Cried
4 stars
The dual stories, told in short, impactful chapters is such a powerful mechanism, and Becky Chambers wields it perfectly.
Both stories are riveting for their own, very different reasons. But both have to do with social justice, and personhood denied.
I found myself getting to the end of one chapter and being oh but I want to stay with this character! only to get embroiled in the other character's chapter immediately.
It's like an anti-cliffhanger. Rather than leaving you hanging, it pulls you in to the next segment, and then pulls you right back into the following.
If you liked The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet - the previous entry by Becky Chambers, then I can super-recommend this.
