A key theme of this book is communication. For me the 'failure to communicate' trope can get old very fast especially if (as happens all too often) it has no logical foundation (other than the need to engineer plot tension). However, this book shows how to do it right. The misunderstandings between Kee and Varro are firmly grounded in their social & cultural backgrounds so never feel forced. All this makes for a lovely juicy 'learning to trust & communicate' plot that works in parallel with the main action plot.
