![]() ![]() ![]() If Vast Black was an examination of how faith pushes one to act, Forsaken Stars is a much more somber meditation questioning said faith. Will the sisters ever know peace again? And can their faith survive the empty black of space without the foundation of the church itself? ![]() And all the while, the stories of these nuns and their deeds on Phoyonga III spread across the outer colonies, bolstering the more rebellious tendencies of those persecuted by Earth and the Church. As the drums of war echo throughout the systems of humanity, a biological sister of one of the nuns requests asylum, while another woman seeks to join them. Resources are tight because they are no longer officially a part of the Catholic Church, and they have to be careful about who they trust. They are slowly acquainting themselves within their new living ship updating its systems with what little they scrounge together. ![]() Picking up some time after their defiant actions on Phoyonga III, the now nameless convent has replaced its mother superior, and is in hiding. Fortunately, Rather has decided to continue the story of this small order, who are now on the run in Sisters of the Forsaken Stars. Lina Rather’s debut in the novella scene captured my imagination and heart and left me wanting more. Back in the olden times of just over two years ago, I read Sisters of the Vast Black, a charming novella about a small convent of nuns in outer space. ![]()
