It was a bit slow to get through, and the needless use of a slur was off putting. Interesting idea, will make me think twice next time I go to squish a spider.

I do love a story with characters that are not human! This take on evolution, space exploration, and managing resources was awesome.

Lai gan zinātniskā fantastika nav mans lauciņš, taču šis darbs patika. Beigu kaujā pat nevarēju izlemt, kam just līdzi, - zirneklienes Poršijas vai cilvēku komandai. Labi, ka uzvarēja tas, kam vajag uzvarēt , un tā, kā vajag uzvarēt.
