The second part of this interesting experiment, written by a different author than the first.
The story continues very well and Annie does start to sound and think more like a human than in the first book.
This author fixes the impossible names from the first book, as in N'wrbb and 'Nrrc'kth, by creating characters with believable names, such as "an unpronounceable grumble", later referred to as Ka, or "a name that started with Mar and ended with a kind of fizzing sound made by lifting the upper lip and blowing through the front teeth", later referred to as Mar/fssh.
Better than the first, certainly, but there are still some problems. Still, great idea.
