I've been going through a very difficult episode in my life and haven't had a lot of bandwidth for reading, so it's taking me much longer to get through this book than I anticipated. Still, I'm enjoying the read when I can make time for it.

The Eridians have just docked with Ryland's ship and knocked on the door. I'm very eager to find out what kind of aliens they are—bipedal? Amorphous? How many limbs do they have? Eyes? Mouths? Really looking forward to seeing what Weir dreamed up!
