This book is set in the same world as, but is not the same story as, the novelette of the same name (also the same world as Hugo-nominated short story "Amaryllis").

The loose system of government which has evolved since the crash of civilization and technology seems plausible based on the post-crash worldbuilding. The story reminded me a bit of Lois McMaster Bujold's Penric novellas, because it has the same sort of quiet conflict and thoughtful resolution as those stories; I think that fans of Penric may enjoy this. I will definitely be picking up the sequel, The Wild Dead.
