Possibly post apocalyptic, I'd probably have to read the other two books in the series to find out for sure. It has a strong interesting setting and a cool take on spiritual ideas and knowing oneself. I don't know that the characters were interesting enough to read the other books, but it's quite a good story, I may well come back to it.
I can't say I cared for this trilogy, but I liked this book the best out of the three. I liked the story line in this one the best and I liked the blind man, Raim, better as a match for Kat than Nall, the one she ends up with.
A great sequel to "Long Night Dance". But if in the last book Kat ends up with Raim instead of Nall I'm gonna be 20 kinds of upset!!!
