It's amazing how different in feel this book is compared to Darcie's first book Elatsoe. It is incredible that this book is just as good, showing Darcie has a wide range in her writing.

There are some similarities between the two. Both feature supportive family members, characters are reasonably competent based on age and characteristics, and the conflict arises naturally from the world (or in the case of this book, worlds) the characters inhabit.

Drama is not the driving force here, which is always refreshing. And the structure being that of what appears to be loosely connected stories is a pleasant experience that would probably adapt well to an audio version.

Aside from that, there's not much else I can say. Except one should certainly read this novel!
