Another piece of the Jokka story, told in swift bites of time, almost a montage sequence -- no wasted words, no wasted scenes, everything building to the decision. There are many ways that Jokka face becoming, or being, female, and this is a secret way -- and a selfish one. And yet, having seen what it has seen, what else can Kediil choose?As I've mentioned in other reviews, of other stories in this setting, the Jokka are not human; there are few parallels to human questions involving sex and gender. One can only visit, half-in an alien's skin, and see how the world and their biology shape them. This is one of the best "tours" of the series.
