Well, Intisar delivers another great short story. The Bone Knife hints at a much larger story, one that I am extremely keen to find out more about. The loving, supportive family unit Rae (our protagonist) is brought up in, is a delightful change to the broken homes a lot of new fictional characters ...
I realize (now) that this is a lead-in to The Theft of Sunlight series, but as a short story, it didn't do much for me. I mean, now I'm interested, but the story itself seemed kinda pointless. Perhaps I'll reconsider if/when I read the connected series.
