Want to read: Radiant Star by Ann Leckie 📚
The planet Aaa has lost its star, forcing its population to live underground. The underground city is quite an inward-looking backwater, and its central focus is a rather arcane religious site called the Temporal Location of the Radiant Star. The site is home to many “saints”, who may or may not just be dead bodies. Outside the Temporal Location, the city is a very political place. The locals are fractious, and oddly reliant on onions (which becomes important later).
