Atoll islands and their gods demand much of their people, especially if they become a topic of stories. Kaimana has to face rising demands od her time, and her life, when an old threat comes to the islands. 

This was an interesting take on change and I enjoyed being back to the setting. It felt convoluted at times, and I missed more Kaimana-Rakau times.
