It dawned on me recently that “star maps” like the one in Avenging Son… they’re almost, I dunno, pointless?
A planet that looks close to you on the map can be actually much, much farther away than one three times as far away on the map. 2D maps for 3D space tell comforting and intriguing lies. 😂

Please put maps in your books, especially if you mention scores of places and argue that regional connections are important.
