I remember reading science fiction like this back in the 90s when I was start university. The author has created a new world that is interesting enough without the character of Ashley. The creatures and setting are bizarre and really draw you in. The nine Ides were a bit difficult to get into at first but when you start to appreciate the subtle differences it starts to come together. I had to re-read a couple of sections just because the description and detail was so precise I didn't want to get them confused.The opening page is a great way to draw you in, an odd person in a cell and awaiting a visitor. Where are they and what the hell is going on? A great first novel that is truly designed for the thinking reader. Excellent work and extremely well written.
