"The
manuscript is imaginative from the start, causing readers to wonder
what sort of world they’ve entered and what sort of creatures
inhabit it. Language and technology are used to great effect in the
story."
"The story
unfolds at a very crisp pace, each chapter proceeding generally in
the pattern of flashback/news article/obituary/interview, Chalina’s
story, Capa’s story/present day, then commentary from “dead”
Punyal. This order is both logical and comforting in a way, as the
reader is guided through the ebb and flow of the action at a measured
rate.
In Punyal’s
musings after death at the end of most of the chapters, he seems to
be addressing his sister and then the reader, sort of like a chorus
in Greek drama. He offers analysis of what has taken place as well as
some foreshadowing of the events to come."
