FINE PREY, in my opinion, could be said to do the same thing. Spider, the protagonist, is one of the top students at the school run by the alien culture which has conquered Earth. The Aya school the children's minds, and control their bodies. Humans, given little choice, seem to embrace the ways of the Aya. But Spider and her school buds have ways to escape the cocoon-like smothering of the Ayan schools.
Spider is good at everything.
She's as good a hunter as she is a student. And she loves the Fine Hunt and the violent, sometimes perverse relationships that arise and are fed in that arena. But everything comes at a price, and Spider must learn to balance the addictions, the obsessions, and the perversions she and her new friend discover. She must also try to hang on to her humanity in the face of all the inhumanity going on around her. The hunt is a techno-spectacular horse race where horse and rider are connected, moving and thinking as one.
