He is a sensitive, which is someone that is able to read thoughts and feelings of others while plugged into the xenosphere. Rosewater narrowed in on Kaaro as the protagonist. It’s still non-linear with multiple POV’s, though. Insurrection is easier to follow in that sense, because it doesn’t jump around quite as much.
