I found the novella beautiful and spellbinding, so I'm glad I read the comments to find out there's a sequel!! :D

Considering the broad topics and great sweeps of history, I found the novella's spare but evocative prose perfectly suited. Loved, loved the worldbuilding and the characters.

I see Tor using silkpunk to describe it as well. Which was also used for JY Yang's Tensorate series which I can see has already been recced.
