Gestrandet im Sternenreich.

The universe feels both expansive and personal, making me wonder whether Heinlein envisioned this setting from the start or if it evolved during writing.

The story covers a lot of ground in a short span, and I was curious if that was a deliberate pacing choice or just how the story naturally unfolded.

The book explores themes of duty and morality, but I wonder if the focus on action sometimes overshadowed the deeper character growth.
