A quest with some large twists makes for a fun story. It takes place on Mars, 300 years after the collapse of civilization. The society is roughly feudal and the old technologies are seen as magic.

Most of my concerns come from being a short story

And I don’t like them. But within the limitations, this is a fun little read. The social relationships and character development are pretty good, for a short.

Spiritually, it’s a high 3-star tale

Christianity is barely a memory. But in the tale it’s found expressed in vague religious memories. Yet, it’s done realistically.
