About
A Ferren youth, Wells's age-mate, curious and quick and equally delighted and frightened by the roadmakers. The friendship between the two of them is a reader's way into the Ferren as people rather than as a situation.
"The friendship with Wells is the reader's bridge into the Ferren as people." The warmth (chapter 4)–5) that must land before the sky's arithmetic reaches them.
