I really enjoyed this novella, but it is in reviewing it that I have come to appreciate it even more. Lavie Tidhar is a writer who will dazzle us for many years, I hope. Read “Cloud Permutations” then go find his short stories. You won’t be disappointed.

Editorial mishaps aside, this is a powerful story of self-discovery and self-sacrifice, told in the traditional polynesian style--which makes it feel as if the narrator were telling you the story over a fire. Beautiful.
