The Expert System’s Champion by Adrian Tchaikovsky
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don't know what it is about the Expert System novellas, but I love the wild exoplanet worldbuilding while finding myself not really caring about the MC. In long exile, making a living as an outcast among outcasts, I think I wanted to like the core story more than I did.

That's not to say it didn't have its charm, however. The alien species we're dealing with (no spoilers) reminds me of a certain slow-moving immortal legend that might be out to kill you. And if you get that reference, then enjoy your new Tchaikovsky animal!
