This novella picks up pretty much right where The Annual Migration of Clouds ended. If you haven't read that one yet, go read it before you continue with this one.
Reid arrives where she has been told to go and activated her tracker. She is brought into Howse and her medical issues are treated (in ways that could not have happened at home). Once she is healthy enough to leave the medical ward, she starts classes and learns about life at Howse.
This story was very good. I liked it even better than the first one. Major themes include culture shock, classism, and social responsibility. If you liked the first one, this one will probably also work for you. I look forward to reading any further stories in this series.
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and ECW Press. The opinions expressed are my own.
