Cat Valente has a way with words that no other author gets close to. At least for me. She could write anything and make it suond beautiful. With this novella, I was confused for a long time before it clicked. Once it did, however, I was all in and could fall into that dreamworld into which the author takes you.
It is not my favorite Valente, but it is still a fantastic novella about an artificial intelligence coming to terms with its past and its present and with the fact that it wants things.
