I fell asleep during part of this, and didn't bother to go back to catch the parts I missed because I didn't care...

Interesting idea. Interesting World. Interesting characters. But it felt like it ended very rapidly, with little conclusion.

Thoughtful and Well Written
A fascinating and well wrought sci-fi tale with some interesting questions about authority, religion, and perception. My only real criticism would be that it didn't fully absorb me as much as I would have liked, but nonetheless it is well worth a listen.
Great performance.
Definitely makes me want to read more of the author.

I love Ken Liu. His creativity is off the charts. This short story is also creative, with little metaphors tucked into the creativity.
However, there was a lot going on in here for a short story. I found myself confused more often than enjoying the story. Maybe that's just me and I need to re-listen to the audiobook.
