For you don't climb to us. You fall only, you don't climb. She had fallen, or been thrown. Now she would never rise again. A long sad time, never.

This could have been a 5 star read, but while I enjoyed the author's writing overall, there were a few sentences that took up almost an entire page, and that always drags me out of the narrative. That said, she somehow managed to develop an entire world and society within 80 pages, had me rooting for the main characters, and added a revenge plot that was compelling and had a satisfying ending. I can see why this won the Nebula Award, and definitely recommend it.
