"Between Two Stars" is Becky Chambers' second science fiction novel set in the Wayfarer universe - an optimistic space opera featuring high-tech cities on alien planets, artificial intelligences, extraordinary aliens, and a significant amount of depth. Once, Lovelace had her eyes and ears everywhere. As the AI system of the Wayfarer, she was aware of everything happening on her spaceship, and she cared for the well-being of the crew, becoming more of a friend than just a system. Then came the total system failure. Her crew saw only one way to save Lovelace: a reboot of all her systems. When she wakes up, she is trapped in a body kit, limited to modified human bodily functions - in a society where such a transformation is forbidden. But Lovelace is not alone: Pepper, a chaotic technician, is living her life.
