Journal Entry 1 by londonmet from -- Somewhere in London 🤷♀️ , Greater London United Kingdom on Friday, August 20, 2004
Bought in a charity shop this afternoon - I treated myself to a stocking-up trip after several hours in the library for my dissertation.
Like the premise of this - human colonists on a world with a truly alien society. Nice cover art, too.

Quite a good story of human-alien contact, friendship and betrayal, and finding one's place in the world.
Didn't find the alien society as well-imagined as some (Gwyneth Jones's Aleutians stand out). The Atevi aren't a crude caricature of a human society, but I'd say there's a lot of shogunate-era Japanese influence in them.

Journal Entry 4 by WistfulDragon from Streatham, Greater London United Kingdom on Sunday, August 19, 2007
This was picked up by Diomedes as an orphan. He never got round to reading it, and it was hiding with some other books. I have read it before, and thoroughly enjoyed it - I love this author! But it is now available to go travelling again.
Picked up at the meet tonight.
Sorting out Mt Tbr, time to move this book on.
