Moments like this are why I question a mother's intelligence. <spoiler>I get she's trying to protect the kid, but I have a few questions about Rima. First, how did she know about the bomb? Second, she knows there are two suspects and that one of them is Roak, but then why didn't she question how Roak became a prisoner in the first place? If she actually used her brain, she'd know her son was right.</spoiler>

So now all of a sudden those first 5 chapters I went hard on make a world more sense than they did less than 15 pages ago. Now I'm curious as to how this is going to play out. Also, do I see this alien planet maintaining a sense of karma or was I just imagining things not too long ago?

Maybe I've been too hard on the book at the beginning. It took a bit, but this is actually beginning to grow on me. The world-building and character-building is good so far, and that's good news since I do want to like this book given the author's credentials (and the fact I shared a birthday with him despite me being much younger).

A lot of updates in a short period of book, I know, but I've got to a point in which the story is beginning to make some sense, or at least I hope so. Apparently what I was looking for was a form of a black dwarf, but shouldn't those things still not exist yet for trillions of years? Either way, I'm happy that at least we found our "black sun".

Oops! Wrong page! Either way, my statement from the previous update about Rima stands, and <spoiler>I still think she's dumb to not question how Roak ended up as the other prisoner.</spoiler>

It's still going by slowly, but at least now we're no longer on Earth? What planet am I on?

Five chapters down and still no black sunning. I wanted to read why there's a black sun goddammit, not five chapters of people being weirdos.
