Content warning Frage, Kleiner Spoiler, relativ früh
Warum schmilzt das Parrafin (und das Lötzinn?) am Sonnensystem-Gruppenmodell nicht, das Ryland zurücksendet? Bei den Temperaturen beim Zielschiff?
Can't find the stories 3-6 or the whole thing anywhere in epub :/ It's even free at some online platforms, but none that I'm using.
First two stories were very enjoyable

Vollautomatisiert, supersmart … und tödlich. Aiki Miras visionärer SF-Thriller über die Zukunft unserer Städte.

War am Anfang nicht ganz überzeugt, die Protagonistin hat mich im Laufe des Buches aber sehr für sich eingenommen. Schön geschrieben, die Zitate gut gewählt finde ich, generell schön philosophische und weltanschauliche Aspekte sehr natürlich untergebracht in einer spannenden aber nicht zu aufregenden Geschichte.
Hat mir gut gefallen, wurde dem Namen gerecht denke ich. Düster, liest sich trotzdem schnell weg, mir gefällt die Schreibe. Schönes Spiel mit Technik.
Es waren zwei falsche Pokemonfakten enthalten und ich frag mich, ob das Absicht war.

I liked this a lot again, the settings, the story, the characters, the style of writing. Especially the Syl Anagist part.
I still can't make sense of a lot of stuff though, mostly guardians. If they're already semi-controlled by earth through the needles, what exactly does the "contamination" change? Schaffa's transformation seemed pretty dubious to me. Also why is the group of contaminated guardians still on guardian business like purging antarctic fulcrum? How do they get to Corepoint if they can't travel through the core? I didn't think Stone Eaters would transport them? There's probably some other means of transportation but still. Some more questions that I forgot.
I sometimes feel like I missed something important but that's just NK Jemsin's style I realized by now (explaining it implicitly later).
Also not quite understanding what the "contaminated" Guardians are up to.
Generally I really liked it again and will go to the next one immediately.

Why did Syenite have to suffocate Coru on the ship in the end? Couldn't she do the thing and try to keep him?
Didn't she know what'd happen when she tapped the obelisk?
