About the best thing I can say for this story right now is that there were no info-dumps in it. Too bad; I could have used a few -- to inform me of just what the hell was going on. It was like getting a phone call over a really bad connection; I can only to guess at what information I was supposed to receive but didn't.
I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?

Jamie, I got the same as you did out of it . . . it was just damn difficult. And for all the focus on Mallory, she doesn't seem to have much of a role in the story. I'm just guessing: potential mate for Ben; possibly of more desirable stock . . . ?

Wasn't it one of our own Aphelionites who said that, as writers, we owe the reader an easy ride (or something to that effect)?
