Sucessor to The Sparrow

this is pr0bably the most poignant telling of the diverse range interior spiritual journeys of a group of ppl Ive read in scifi since The Sparrow by Russell. as a catholic i know many can see us as a monolith or sometimes they dont see us at all- only the looming institution of the Vatican. the idea of what sort of personal spirituality it individuals hold is not even considered. this book does away with those stereotypes. its characters are a range of the strict orthodox to the heretical and all are treated with respect and compassion. Lina Rather I will read anything you write.

Enjoyed

Beautiful world-building. The concepts of living ships, etc seemed so foreign to me at first, but it was executed well and felt believable in the universe.
I listened to both books in this series quickly and enjoyed them thoroughly.
I did struggle a bit following some of the names at first. But I think that is to be expected sometimes with audiobooks.
Would love to listen to/read more of this universe/author.
Gemma’s storyline was especially heartwarming to me.
