I enjoyed it, I am a fan of science fiction generally but what I gain from books like this is a view point other than my own. I was so grateful for the protagonist who is neuro divergent and it gives me another perspective to understand and hopefully empathize with others. I know a few people who have explained that they are autistic and everyone one of them is different and I no doubt its different for everyone but having the protagonist struggle through a planetary comet strike and still manage to help and explain how much harder that was for them.
Loved the ending which was a wonderful refutation to the sort of "The Cold Equations" thinking I see too often in science fiction. Great work Corinne Duyvis I will need to find more of your work.
