Common Orbit is just as good, compassionate and lovely as Angry Planet. I'm just overflowing with love for these characters; despite everything they go through they remain good people.
I loved Pepper's story of how she got to be where she is now; full of true bravery and friendship. Insanely gripping too, I often forgot I knew the outcome.
I love how Becky tries to view the universe in other than human eyes.
