A solid follow up to The Sparrow, Russell allows the reader to explore the consequences of the first voyage to Rakhat and the impact humans have had on culture, politics, economics, and religion. Sandoz can't understand why he must return, discovers that the forces around him are making choices for him, and continues to seek meaning in his struggles. Russell also does an outstanding job with two neurodivergent characters are presented as unique individuals rather than stereotypes.
