Nerilka's Story - Chapters Five and Six

[kalinara]

One thing I have to admit about Ms. McCaffrey is that she is excellent at writing grief. In this book or in the Ship Who Sang, she's got a real knack for presenting that emotional punch.

I'm really looking forward to the point when this book moves past Moreta, and we get to experience that aftermath. I'm expecting it to be honestly devastating.

...honestly, I'll be happy once Nerilka leaves Fort Hold. I think I'll enjoy the book a lot better when the cartoon villains are in the rear view mirror.
