This was an interesting continuation of the previous book and a satisfying end, if a sad one. It was much stronger prose and tightly edited, which I appreciated. It was fascinating to see how an abundance of water affected the desert people and their culture. It was the tiny details that really sold this narrative and I appreciated the solid attempts to explain the systems and societies at work. The audiobook was well articulated, but I will have to buy paperbacks to dissect.
