Battle by Michelle West

4.0

Rereading it now, I'd forgotten how much of BATTLE is spent in contemptuous anger at the ignorant cowards who think of themselves as the rulers of that society. A thing happened that we don't understand! We don't know how! Obviously we should kill everyone involved! Just in case! We scared!

There's a bit too much assertion of the competence of characters like Duvari and Jarven and too little evidence of it. I tend to agree with the cats.
