I did not manage to finish the book prior to this one, Gwyneth Jones' White Queen
I did not manage to finish the book prior to this one, Gwyneth Jones' White Queen. I am slightly surprised that I finished this one, in that light, but the structure of this novel is definitely easier to cope with, and I think the plot is slightly more straightforward too. So in White Queen the aliens arrive and it turns out they've been living amongst for rather a long time.
