Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 72
It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 4
In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid—a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.”

Tom Dreyfus is a Prefect, a law enforcement officer with the Panoply. His beat is the multifaceted utopian society of the Glitter Band, that vast swirl of space habitats orbiting the planet Yellowstone, the teeming hub of a human interstellar empire spanning many worlds. His current case: investigating a murderous attack against one of the habitats that left 900 people dead, a crime that appalls even a hardened cop like Dreyfus.

In the 1800s, a sailing ship crashes off the coast of Norway. In the 1900s, a Zepellin explores an icy canyon in Antarctica. In the far future, a spaceship sets out for an alien artifact. Each excursion goes horribly wrong. And on every journey, Dr. Silas Coade is the physician, but only Silas seems to realize that these events keep repeating themselves. And it's up to him to figure out why and how. And how to stop it all from happening again.

Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs. Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares.

Description
Lovelace was once merely a ship's artificial intelligence. When she wakes up in a new body following a total system shutdown and reboot, she has to start over in a synthetic body, in a world where her kind are illegal. She's never felt so alone. But she's not alone, not really.
Pepper, one of the engineers who risked life and limb to reinstall Lovelace, is determined to help her adjust to her new world. Because Pepper knows a thing or two about starting over.
Together Pepper and Lovey will discover that, huge as the galaxy may be, it's anything but empty. The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet introduced listeners to the incredible imagination of Becky Chambers and has been nominated for any number of awards and accolades, including the Baileys Prize for Women's Fiction, the Tiptree Award, the Kitschies Golden Tentacle and the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
A Closed and Common Orbit is the stand-alone sequel to The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and is perfect for fans of Firefly, Joss Whedon, Mass Effect and Star Wars.

A slice of life in space
While not as adventurous or intense as book 1, this title takes time to slow down and do a deep character study and ask some interesting questions about human nature vs AI. An excellent read for anyone to enjoy.

If a book could hug you, A Closed and Common Orbit would be the best hugger!
I just loved the intertwined stories of the two protagonists. Becky Chambers has a way to create incredible characters and her writing is warm and sweet and it’s everything I needed! Also, I love how the species are different in their physiologies and ways of talking, mating, etc. Such creativity!

This was a good story!
I was very curious about Pepper so when I started listening to the 2nd book I was really happy. It was fun and interesting and the ending was heartwarming and nice. Definitely recommend if you liked the first one. There were a lot of introductions of different species in the first book that could be a little overwhelming but this one added onto the first in a positive way. I enjoyed it alot!

Amazing
Fully recommend!!! This book is absolutely lovely. The voices are great!
Only difficult part is sometimes the text conversations can drag due to the numbers at the header of each message. But I listened to it all in one day, so good!!!

I didn’t think it was possible to recreate the magic of wayfarer
…without those characters, but it happened. I read book 3 before 2 and thought I wouldn’t get into lovely’s character after the end of Wayfarer book 1, but boy was I wrong. This book builds the world perfectly, the way the characters are so empathetically written and the plot inventive and real… Becky Chambers is a treasure.
The narrator handled a variety of character accents and personas really impressively. Never once took me out of the story. Impressively real stutter!

The Wayfarer Series sits with the best of sci-fi.
Absolutely wonderful in every way. Becky Chambers has painted a beautiful universe, teeming with curious folk and intriguing conflict. Patricia Rodriguez's narration and character portrayal are fully life-giving, and I genuinely hope she has a role in a visual adaptation, if ever that comes along.
Originally, I was hesitant to accept a new cast of characters, almost fully distinct from the first installment. Now having finished the second book, I will comfortably dive headfirst into any story written by Becky Chambers, as I believe they belong sitting comfortably in the highest echelon of science fiction.

Rick & Morty is more of a sci-fi novel than this
This book, along with book 3 & 4 in this series are not sci-fi novels, there is no story line, no plots, nothing! it's just anthology of alien lives, such as what they eat, what they wear, how they dance.
There first book is decent with a story and character development. However, this book to sci-fi is what 50 shades of Grey was to romantic novels, and I don't mean that as a complement!
