I am a Beta Reader for this author. That means I get to read it before it goes for final editing to check for story continuity.  It was my first book by this author and frankly I was stunned at the level of craftsmanship displayed in his telling of this story.  His character development just flowed with the storyline. That is a talent hard to polish and I know some that I have followed for years who are not as skilled as Mr Hallman.There was a conflicted main character who due to no fault of her own had found herself in a real pickleing pot. How do you deal with a culture that is not years but centuries behind yours? How do you deal with others whom you suspect may be your culture's equal?
