Tamsyn Muir is a wonder at writing from different perspectives, and even this short story format is no different.
It draws on a character that had only a minor impact in the initial Gideon the Ninth book, and expands on her greatly. The perspective was a unique and interesting one, as well as a strange relationship with both deuteragonists in this story.
It explores more of the Second House's Necro/Cavalier relationship, Judith Duertos as a person, and the effect that the post-Canaan House events had on the survivors. I particularly enjoyed this short story and keenly look forward to more of Muir's shorter work.

IL MODO in cui Muir riesce a dare a ogni personaggio una voce così unica, così riconoscibile, così netta. Il modo in cui prende una personaggia secondaria e le dà uno spessore, con una naturalezza assurda. Una manciata di parole che disegnano un altro pezzettino di un mondo sfaccettato e complesso di cui vediamo sempre troppo poco, ma quello che vediamo è così perfetto.
Per quanto riguarda il contenuto, sì, beh, mi ha mandata sotto un treno con una manciata di pagine, che altro dovrei dire.
