Reviews

[Emma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book with good character development and plots that intertwine to create an interesting resolution. There is no cliches or heroes. Tepper once again creates a world that makes you think about why we act as a society in certain ways or believe certain beliefs. If you don't like a reversal of old fashioned patriarchy (aka men are in subordinate position) the book may be too challenging for you.
