It's exhausting. People hiding behind the asteroid, like it's an excuse for poor conduct, for miserable and desperate and selfish behavior, everybody ducking in its comet-tail like children in mommy's skirts.

An excellent read, with both style and substance! I'll admit that I was more into the general ~vibes than the mystery itself, but I'm not a big mystery reader anyway. I was really unsure how the hell the author was going to manage to wrap things up, but the ending was both moving and satisfying, and I will definitely be picking up the next in the trilogy when I get a chance.
