Delightful! Mossa and Pleiti and the coze scifi mystery vibe continue to be a lot of fun. The mystery was less weighty but no less interesting and used the setting well.

The language is so fun - there's lots of words that aren't from modern English that fit the setting. Borrowing from other languages (erai), modifications of existing terms (grab the situation), or just new words that fit nicely. I love it
