This story was easier to comprehend. It involved two new races: a fox-like race called the Kyacaotl, and an alien kangaroo-type race called the Geroo. This story was actually an alien encounter tale. A Kyacaotl outcast named Tin meets an alien Geroo named Ava who is lost in his region, cold and maybe dying.
He takes her back home and they learn about each other's races. It even turns into a bit of a romance. Without going into the specifics and spoilers, there is a dark turn to this story that was very interesting and did very well to explain this universe a bit more. I really enjoyed their rapport with one another, which really drove the story along quite well.
I do recommend this story, and I am really looking forward to going forward with the rest of the tales. Alien first encounter stories are really interesting, and this was no exception. This is quality scifi writing so far.

Thank you for not spoiling. It seems the story explored the sexiness of "the other" which is well told in fairy tales. We are attracted to the unusual. Strange people quite literally arouse our curiosity.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Sometimes it can be disturbing and other times it can be very attractive because of its exotic nature.
