This book is hard for me to talk about because it gives me lots of FEEEELS that don't have much to do with the book itself. Untangling them all has been the project of months, and I'm still not done. Don't worry, it's unlikely to affect you in quite the same way. I'm an eccentric case, as ever. 
 It's more thoughtful and introspective than you might expect going into a SF book set in deep space. I hope lots of people read it, and I hope more books like it are published and see wild success.
