A quick mystery/adventure on a former colony world, with the full differences only hinted at. The author tells enough of the story to intrigue, without stepping on the toes of the plot. Well done!

This short novel is told from two perspectives, both flawed characters and reluctant heroes. Without directly talking about their struggles, they manage to help each other out. Does this strength help them succeed against the "demon"? No spoilers - this Hugo novella winner (2022) is a very quick read, get to it!

I've read two other short novels from this author, and I will have to tackle one of his larger books soon. Each novel was borrowed from the library to read, and each has had a beautiful and evocative cover. Of the three, this is the best so far, well deserving of a 5 star rating.
