Summary:
This was a good extension of the story. It believably expanded the world, and played with the dual narrative between Keal and Kylie.
It created an interesting parallel as the former labored with the Giants and the latter with the motts. The symbolism was hard to miss.
It also really interestingly developed Keal's character.
Thoughts:
This was another good book. It suffered slightly from its scope, and the fact that it really is just setup for a future, larger narrative, but on the whole it was good.
I look forward to more.
