The first thing that struck me about this little story is the beautiful detail in the writing. Being able to describe a place so that the reader can imagine themselves there demonstrates great talent and Ms Thoma has it. I was in Hera's craft as it zipped over the water, with Hera as she escaped - oops not going to spoil the story. There's a lot packed into this tale, showing the journey towards enlightment of the heroine, Hera. Hera has spent her young life accepting what she's been told until an unexpected discovery makes her begin to question what she believed were truths. Ms Thoma gives us a heroine who is brave and resourceful and a world that's strange and compelling. This is a novella NOT to be missed.
