"Evaluate the new head of House Laisira, and if he seems unsuitable, deal with it." Such was Pathen Ures-emodo's unpalatable assignment. When he begins his investigation, he suspects nothing more than incompetence. But could House Laisira be hiding a far greater sin? And what will Pathen, the unwilling claw of the emperor, do about it? A Jokka story set in the time of Roika's empire, after the novel The Worth of a Shell.

The only reason this is not five stars is because I have the urge to turn the author upside down and shake her until the rest of the book falls out.I mean, this is a good short story/novella!
* It follows the structure of a story, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. It a societal sequel to The Worth of a Shell (paper copy)/The Worth of a Shell (Kindle) without requiring _Worth_ to understand what's going on. (Though you might want to pick up Freedom, Spiced and Drunk at some point, for the most compact rendition of "hi, here's our biology; it can kinda suck.")
* It has a *fabulous* narrator, Pathen, who is part policeman, part enforcer, and part accountant. And all... Hm. I won't say snarky. He's not snarky in the way that current urban fantasy/paranormal romance narrators are snarky. But he's not really happy in his job and he's got a lovely background grump on -- while at the same time caring for people. Who he's not entirely supposed to be caring for. Hence the grump!
* Parts of the plot are predictable to the reader, without quite feeling Pathen is stupid for not figuring it out sooner -- we don't go, "You idiot!" but instead giggle to ourselves in anticipation of Pathen's expression when he finds out. (It's a great expression.)
* It builds a world and lets us see what Roika has wrought (and geeeeeee, you think he's holding a *grudge*? against *two whole genders*?), making a Jokkad Empire. And the trains -- if they had trains, which they don't yet -- would *totally* run on time.
And, at the same time as it gives a perfectly good ending, it's also a case of "BUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT??"
So. Buy the story. First-off, it's good; every star is fairly-won! And secondly, if enough of us buy it, we can all get together and hold up little symbolic representations of the author, turn them upside down, and shake them till the rest of the nice, thick novel falls out.
