A charming sci-fi novella. Crystal is young, quirky, and excited about her new job, which involves mapping and repairing wormholes in space. All starts well, but there are sinister happenings - pirates and sabotage, and I mustn't forget the tentative stirrings of romance.  The author crafts a unique style to tell her story which works very well. The story is unveiled through snippets captured in Crystal's journal that update the reader on events in a chatty, personal style - after all, the narrator is writing to herself. I loved the detail casually thrown in describing a very different time and culture. Towards the end, I felt the depth of Crystal's pain and terror as she is forced to take action that tests her character and resolve to the full. An enjoyable read!
