I asked the salesperson at a small bookstore to recommend any book in the shop to me, and promised that I would buy it. She came back with this one and I am so glad she did. I never would have found it otherwise. I have never read much science fiction as I have always found it to be predictable, with overly simplistic characters, and a love of technology-as-saviour. The characters in this book are complicated and conflicted. The plot is exciting, the world the author created is complex and interesting. This book proves that science fiction can be so much more than what most (male-dominated) sci-fi has given us so far. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series, and will seek out sci-fi written by women authors.
