Content warning The Old Goat and the Alien. Slight spoiler, chapter eleven.
A large aardvark-shape came in, soft nose quivering, his black fur shining with a blue-green iridescence. He wore a blue shawl around his shoulders, spectacles on his nose, and carried a large case under one arm, gripped with long, flexible claws. 'I'm here about a sick human? Jenna, wasn't it? Oh.' He sniffed toward me politely, as if only just remembering. 'I'm Vya.'
I sniffed back, and hated how much I instantly liked him.

This feels like the wrong question to ask... I do not like this behaviour. Hopefully it is just ignorance.

This book reads as a kind of commentary on a Victorian age. I truly loved reading it. Definitely five stars, but on a whole different level than for all other books I've given five stars before. The book is very much well-written. It's a masterpiece.
