A very odd book. Uncomfortable, but interesting. I kept thinking, at the end of almost every piece, that if a human said that (some variation on "thank you for my Correction") it would have meant that human was broken - had been controlled or brainwashed. Here - it means just what it says. The Al-Naidar are very strange people, particularly because they're so close to human in many ways. Fascinating. I'm looking forward to the next book. (
