Summary
Ardulum. The planet that vanishes. The planet that sleeps.
Neek makes a living piloting the dilapidated tramp transport Mercy’s Pledge and smuggling questionable goods across systems blessed with peace and prosperity. She gets by - but only just. In her dreams, she is still haunted by thoughts of Ardulum, the traveling planet that long ago visited her homeworld. The Ardulans brought with them agriculture, art, interstellar technology...and then disappeared without a trace, leaving Neek’s people to worship them as gods.
Neek does not believe - and has paid dearly for it with an exile from her home for her heretical views. Yet when the crew stumbles into an armed confrontation between the sheriffs of the Charted Systems and an unknown species, fate deals Neek an unexpected hand in the form of a slave girl - a child whose ability to telepathically manipulate cellulose is reminiscent of that of an Ardulan god. Forced to reconcile her beliefs, Neek chooses to protect her, but is the child the key to her salvation, or will she lead them all to their deaths?

I really enjoyed the story.
This tale slowly drew me in, its characters were people you were rooting for, and the worlds they inhabit was nicely crafted.
It's not often I find myself pleased a tale has been made into a trilogy. However, this story is so well balanced, it fits into three books perfectly. I especially liked the extra binary additions to the story, I have Trans family and friends, as well as non-binary friends, and my dearest wish is for their existence to simply coexist with the rest of us, equal on every level. We get that in this story.
The narrator was not too bad, I've certainly heard worse.
I have enjoyed these books so much, I have found myself listening to them on more than one occasion. Each time I seem to find more layers that enhance my listening experience.
