A Hawaiian term used to express surprise. Not where I thought the story would go. A bit wordy about religion and our place in the universe. But at least, he didn’t fill the book with it. Got turned around a couple of times as to how the conflict between the two would resolve itself, but I was surprised by how it worked out and the universe that it presented. I half expected Dan Delgado from “The Others” to show up. Still, as good as his usual stuff.
