This is exactly my kind of sci-fi. A quiet, slow burn mystery on a far-flung planet with an exceptionally unreliable narrator. I guessed some bits but thought the series of steady reveals was skillfully done as was the exploration of mental illness though check the trigger warnings on this one if you’re so inclined.

Moderate: Child death, Cursing, Death, Panic attacks/disorders, Medical trauma, Death of parent, Gaslighting, Toxic friendship, and Injury/Injury detail
