Reads like a gulp of hot chocolate, powerful and comforting at the same time as challenging. I could wish for a sequel, but I also might not wish for that, because the ending is as it should be. Sci-fi at it's best, warning us about dangers yet to come, with space ships and adventures and new planets to explore. Deeply literary, with its theme of stories being what makes us human.
I also love the casual reference to "That pandemic in the 20s." Perfection.
