I liked the expressiveness of the narrator, but she spoke very slowly. I put the speed up to 1.5 and found the rest of the story from that point to be a cruise. I think the narrator gives the pov character a sort of pathetic intensity that is both extremely on the mark and also kind of hard to listen to sometimes, because Jesus, man, this character has a lot of issues.
The novel itself is a rough but hopeful Portrait of a deeply messed up woman

Disappointingly changed from the original story

I have fond memories of the original short story by James Blish... so I was very disappointed that this shares very little with the original story beyond the basic concept and a few character names. The big mystery of the short story isn't a mystery at all in this, and the location is completely changed, in a way that doesn't really make any sense, culminating in an example of that oddity of '50s sci-fi, the "science inspires faith" story.
