This and the first of the series are absolutely wonderful. They're both a fresh of breath air as their characters wrestle with inner struggles around understanding themselves, empathizing with others, and all encompassing respect for life and beings.

A Closed and Common Orbit was brilliant, each chapter shifting between an AI struggling to find self driven purpose and autonomy with a small girl who's life started on the terrible end of humanity while she grew into a brilliant woman.

Can't recommend this series enough.
