totally biased review
I have and (and to a degree re-read) almost everything Published by Ms Uphoff. Her prose is very clean and easy to read.
While this seems to be a stand-alone, it doesn’t really explain everything early enough to make sense for first time readers.
I will buy everything she publishes…then ask for more.

This author is new to me. Apparently, this new work will be a branch from a long running series.
What impressed me, first, was the pace of world building. As a new reader, this was wholly foreign. Yet, the shape of the society and its culture was perfect. Itdid not leave me clueless by page 5, as so many novice authors do. Nor, were there endless background - and boring- character discussions to clue the reader into the milieu. Well Done!
The main characters were solid, understandable, and their actions consistent with who we come to find they are.
Plot, not immediately evident by page 10, and then painful for the next 200 pages.
Absorbing throughout.
Certainly recommended. As light reading to pass the time in an interesting fashion.

Wonderful story
Pam Uphoff continues to produce one heartwarming story after another! What an insanely broad and extensive universe she has created!, full of twists and turns, new enemies, new heroes all coming from the most unlikely places! She shows that even in the most toxic societies, good people can still exist, fighting against their corrupt and depraved environment, even as they care for strangers and loved ones alike.
