I was taken back to why I fell in love with Storm in the first place. I frankly found the lastest trilogy confusing and boring, with too "human" involved with the constant going on about birth and religion. Student of Kyme brought me back to the hara themselves and their struggle to be something better than the human species they replaced. I want more of this, I want my Wraeththru back.

We follow Gesaril from to the great library of Kyme where he would recover from the general mess that happened in Jesith (see The Hienama). We know the POV of Gesaril, as it's written in first person, and we feel the wounds in his heart, too, an heart that seeks only oblivion. But tranquillity and rest would be denied to Gesaril, who'll find himself plunged in a tangled web of ambiguity and deceit. We find here analyzed the "generation gap" in Wraeththu society between first and second generation, knew new ways to aruna and encounter a new tribe and an old acquaintance of ours from Immanion.
A gem of a novel, really, a poignant tale on the traps of love entanglements and illusions.
I simply loved it!
