    Um. What do I say about this book(let)? It's not my favourite story of the jokka, and I think that's pretty much down to the fact that it relies on implication far more than the others; it's a lot less transparent and requires more effort. I'd have liked it to be a tad less subtle, though that does fit with the narrative. As a story, if you're reading them in order, you're back to at best bittersweet and really durned creepy at worst.I wouldn't advise people to start with this tale. Fatha Gesha-emodo isn't the most typical jokkad protagonist and the shadowed implications for society as a whole probably won't pack as much punch if you're not quite aware of how their society works. The story is extremely tightly focused and doesn't really pause to fill the reader. It just hints at what one needs to know, assumes one already knows it, and isn't long enough to fill one in as one goes along.That said, I enjoyed it and I hope we'll get to see some of the implications of this story worked out in the books I've got left to read.
