review 1: Not at all what I expected - and very pleasantly surprised! I downloaded this some time ago, but because it was short and the name didn't really sound all that appealing, I held off. Starting off, the linguistics focus kept my attention because I couldn't guess where it would lead. It turned out to have a very interesting twist which the author explored well in such a short tale. I almost don't want to read the next book because I enjoyed the scope of this one just as it is!
review 2: One of the things I've enjoyed most about the advent of e-readers is the return of short fiction. This novella is listed at 55 pages and was slightly over 100 page turns on a Kindle. While SciFi is not my main reading interest and my preferred form of SciFi is near future, r... moreealistic Scifi, this was an interesting story dealing with contact with another human culture and the complexities of the difference in societies and language. This is a fairly low cost offering on Amazon but well worth the price.The story features a strong female lead character, Toni Donata, an xenolinguist. The other characters are not fully developed as you might expect in a novella. The otherworld humans are really the other main character. One of my criteria for 5 stars is not only an enjoyable read but also when you finish and want more. this novella certainly left me wanting more. less
