I loved the detailed society the author created around the Sacrati. I was a little worried there was going to be a slave/master vibe, but there isn't. (It is present somewhere in the society apparently, but we don't ever see it.)

The dialogue between the two is quite funny and clever in unexpected ways, and the whole thing just feels very different from the norm. I really liked it, but I wish there had been less time devoted to the journey, so to speak, so we could have spent a little more time at the destination. They were interesting together.
