    About this ebook

    "Evaluate the new head of House Laisira, and if he seems unsuitable, deal with it." Such was Pathen Ures-emodo's unpalatable assignment. When he begins his investigation, he suspects nothing more than incompetence. But could House Laisira be hiding a far greater sin? And what will he do about it? A Jokka story set in the time of Roika's empire, after the novel The Worth of a Shell.

      I wish this had been longer. Just a tad so we could have gotten a slightly stronger sense of Pathen's relationship with the heads of House Laisira, but that's more "I want more. T-T Why isn't there more of the awesome?" than it is "It needs more to work". It works fine. I just... want more of it.In 'Stone Moon, Silk Scarves' we get to see some of the fall-out of 'The Worth of a Shell'. Moar world-building goodness on top of everything else! Yes! And Pathen... Oh, Pathen... I loved all the characters in this, but Pathen is so wonderfully complex and conflicted and grumpy and the ending... <3 I definitely recommend reading it straight after 'The Worth of a Shell'. It really helped my case of the tearing up. In some ways, it's oh so very much worse in its implications, but in others it is so, so much happier and hopeful.
