Fascinating characters in a fascinating world. There isn't much in the way of plot, but I found it a highly compelling read nonetheless.

There are just so many pleasing things about this story.

Story threads converging in a surprising and wonderful way! And excellent bits of writing like "inscrutable aliens--whom you've been given specific orders not to scrute"!

So much going on in this book -- fascinating characters, outstanding worldbuilding, and beautiful writing: ""The curve those fingers made, those talons formed, were parentheses marking out something I've always felt totally within me, solid as home itself."

I'm just getting started, but this is cool.
