Description

When disease struck Serel's new settlement, it feared that its clan head would force them to resume their punishing nomadic life. That's when it heard tales of a madwoman in the hills... a madwoman with healing skills. But can this rebel female truly help them? And if she can, will the rest of the clan choose to triumph over the prejudices that would cause them to spurn her help?

Review by: Lynn E. O'Connacht on Feb. 10, 2013 :
'New Stories' is a sequel (of sorts) to 'Freedom, Spiced and Drunk'. It's set an undetermined time after 'Freedom' and deals with how the Jokka came to live in fixed settlements. Sort of. That thread is certainly a part of the story, but it's a background thread. And it's awesome. All the world and culture building going on in the background here. I heart.

Anyway! The story is chiefly about Serel and its desire to save one of its clan's emodos from a sickness that's already claimed one life. It's a bittersweet story, for what it says and doesn't say about the way the Jokka live and for what it says about Kediil's way of life. I'd advise people to read this back to back with 'Freedom' if they can. They both work as stand-alones but I think reading them together makes them both stronger stories. Because Kediil interacts with more Jokka in this story, we get a far better sense of what it/she gave up. (It's already touched upon in 'Freedom', but we really get to feel it here.)

I love Kediil SO MUCH. Seeing her from another's point of view is simply priceless.

Sequel to 'Freedom, Spiced and Drunk' this is a sweet little taste of what happened to the protagonist from that same story. The original is highly worth a read and those who enjoyed the first will undoubtedly then find this one just as pleasant.

As ever, the author's prose is laser-tight. There are no wasted words in the Jokka stories which might irritate some, but also allow for a concise and clear understanding of whichever tale is being imparted.

The narrator in this story is easy to empathize with, and it is interesting to see how our continuing character has fared between the two stories, given their personal difficulties.

This one is a quick and easy read, certainly worth the money!
