I had no trouble reading this dark little story as an effective standalone piece, although it is a prequel to _Thieves at Heart_ which I have not yet read. Tarwater packs an impressive amount of world-building into this, especially considering that we're learning about an "adult" world through the eyes of small child. I'm looking forward to reading the novel.
