The extra story, added in between the 1st and 2nd novella, really hurts the pacing. I recommend reading the original trilogy straight through, saving the extra story for in case you feel like you want to visit the characters again afterwards.

When I write that I wept in this review, it was the ugly kind of bawling that happens when you get very attached to characters.

The world building, the characters, the technology, the journey..  Impeccable.
