Review: A Good Heretic

A Good Heretic by Becky Chambers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mas has a few heretical questions for her mother, thankfully they are happy to answer, but they warn not to ask such questions at school and especially not around the priests. I think none of the info covered here is new to the series and you can consider this short story a series introduction, however I'm starting here so I can't confirm that.

At a certain age Mas' people, the Sianat, are infected, a process in which they become plural by taking on a host, called a Whisperer, and in doing so they acquire a mathematical prowess that allows them to understand the fundamental nature of the universe. Or something like that
