The novel received praise from critics. The plot was compared favorably with the work of David Mitchell.[1]
gollark: Bee deployment.
gollark: Optimised how? I doubt this will actually be faster, unless realloc is smart and reuses the same memory lots, thus doing the same thing but implicitly and worse.

gollark: This is merely an issue due to C bad.
gollark: You can shrink them to fit if needed and it is almost certainly better timewise than the alternative.
