Much like the previous book, it sometimes feels like you're watching someone play a video game and laboriously go through all the dialogue options. It also suffers from an over-abundance of exposition. Rather than a galaxy wide adventure, this is more an exploration of two specific characters. It's rather comfortable being back in the same universe. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series - The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet - and this is. Pepper, one of the engineers who risked life and limb to reinstall her program, has remained by her side and is determined to help her adjust to her new world.īecause Pepper knows a thing or two about starting over. She’s never felt so isolated.īut Lovelace is not alone. She’s gone from being virtually omniscient to a limited physical existence, in a community where her kind are illegal. Now, reactivated and reset, Lovelace finds herself in a synthetic body. She was a ship’s artificial intelligence system, tasked with caring for the health and well-being of her crew, possessing a distinct personality and very human emotions. Once, Lovelace had eyes and ears everywhere. Beginning during the final events of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, this standalone sequel branches out to explore new characters and new corners of the galaxy.
