I was a little hesitant to pick it up because of its length (I *like* novellas, but this one juggled several characters and a plot with some big repercussions), but I ended up really enjoying it, and have already ordered the sequel.The story, set a few decades after a devastating war between Earth and its space colonies, follows a spaceship full of nuns who are dedicated to helping colonies in the outer reaches of explored space. The plot feels intimate, but you quickly begin to realize that these nuns are a small part on the edge of something huge, with the threat of new war lurking.The book had, I think, four POV characters, and none of their sections felt rushed; the pacing of the story felt pretty mellow, but I didn't realize until the end how much worldbuilding had been slipped in along with a plot. The writing was lovely and, despite the length, took its time to linger with each character even in small, quiet moments. I think saying much more would end up spoiling some of it, so suffice to say I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone who likes quieter space scifi. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A spaceship that's a convent - very original. *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020* This was a most entertaining novella combining things familiar to present day Earth (nuns, priests and religious cultures), but then adding in space travel and a spaceship that is a living thing. When the story began to focus on how the ship was showing signs of wanting to mate, my brain went off into so many tangents that it took me a bit to snap back into the story. Needless to say, author Lina Rather made the explanation clear.For only being about 160 pages long there is a lot of plot packed into this story. Each of the nuns has a distinct personality which makes them fit into their individual parts of the crew. This spaceship and crew are traveling among space settlements providing medical care as well as support for new colonists on some planets that aren't exactly located in a friendly environment. Politics begin to press the sisters lives back into more of a mainstream course when a priest is assigned to Our Lady of Impossible Constellations (the name of the spaceship) and the sisters discover a deadly plague has manifest itself on a tiny community they recently visited. How will they follow their faith and their orders?Lina Rather has accomplished an impressive feat by taking an unusual set of characters and meshing them with a multi-strand plot. All in such a short story. I would gladly read more about the sisters and certainly hope she plans to write more adventures for this intrepid group of women. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Catholic Nuns in Space! *by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2022* This Golden Crown Literary Society Award Finalist novella introduces us to the sisters of the Order of Saint Rita, who are nuns on an interstellar mission of mercy aboard the living ship Our Lady of Impossible Constellations.While the nuns are only trying to peacefully help the colonists of the outer worlds, they can’t avoid being drawn into the political realities around them.The violence forty years after the first war that ended in sorrow and bloodshed shows nothing has changed as earth tries to regain control. The impressive amount of world-building, character development and unique ideas crammed into a story this length is astonishing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/300457698-sisters-of-the-vast-black-our-lady-of-endless-worlds](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/300457698-sisters-of-the-vast-black-our-lady-of-endless-worlds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
