The sequel to _White Cat_ goes into the inevitable aftermath, generates new problems, and solves them in spectacular and sometimes disastrous fashions. I'm not sure exactly what "curse working" is a metaphor for. On its own merits, it has ethnicity, class, social acceptability, and elements of disease. Come to think of it, it's very much like _X-Men_'s treatment of mutant super powers.
Also, there is a plot and several well-developed characters, all worked into a good story.
