Sisters of the Vast Black

Getting back into the groove of reading and reviewing books this 2020 isn't all that easy, given what happened in the past year, but I was determined to give it a shot. In line with that, a close friend of mine suggested I give Sisters of the Vast Black a shot, on the notion that a novella might be a bit easier to manage than an entire novel.

And, as always, said friend's recommendation proved a lovely way to ease back into the swing of things. While the setting itself is fantastic, what really stands out about this story is its theme of doing what is right - which may not always be what the government or one's own religion say one must do. It's a reminder that doing what's right isn't always easy, nor is it the purview of a religion: something more people could stand to learn and remember, especially in these times.
