A review by chirson
Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 115, April 2016 by Neil Clarke

3.0

This one was a little bit of a disappointment: it was good, but I didn't find it as cohesive as I would have liked, and the ideas didn't quite work for me (aside from the central sentience/lifespan twist). The ending was quite nice, but it was a good story where I'd hoped for an amazing one.
