I am not, in general, a sci fi person or a fantasy appreciator (who needs fantasy worlds, in my mind, when the here and now is so multi-layered and fascinating) but WOW this is an enchanting creation. Characters that I cared about, mysteries quietly revealed, explosions described, deaths at a distance (and dead family members, sob) and at the end .. hope for us, as a nod of creation from this playwright. We can reflect on the good attributes of mankind and work to avoid all the catastrophes that loom.
