We get to see how Zora Stewart fared after the death of Thomas.

She hasn't fared well.

She hasn't gone out to nay balls, she hasn't called on people, she just stayed home. So, she goes all the way to West Glory. She then discovers that she has a gift of finding the perfect spot for wells. That, and there are two guys who would love to court her.

Zora has to learn what it means to be alive. Most of her friends have died and she feels all alone. When she goes to West Glory, she finds out that she enjoys all of the hard work that she has to do. So she discovers new things about herself all while trying to get over Thomas. Thomas and her friends will always be a part of her but she has to remember that she is alive.

I liked that this story was told differently then Amelia's, so it kept the story interesting. Definitely as good as 'The Vespertine', I can't wait for the next one!
