This was a great continuation of the Tensorate series (which is a series of novellas in the world of the protectorate a sifi fantasy Asian inspired world).

This novella follows a minor side character mentioned and seen in the other books telling the story of how the protector (ruler of the protectorate introduced in the first novella) came into power and became the dictator she is. 

It was very interesting and enjoyable , it made me want more. 
like the other novella's the ending is very open. each novella is a story to show off and build the world of the Tensorate. I wish there was more. Neon Yang built such a vast world over these 4 novella's , there are so many stories that can still be  explored (example i want to know what happens to Akeha and Mokoya, does Rider and their twin ever meet, and what happens to Sonami does she become a worse dictator then her mother). 

I hope Neon Yang writes more in this amazing universe.
