Different concept. Cool heroine.
Reviews and Comments
Just a bitty reader. Prefer fantasy and sci-fi. I have a penchant for faeries, but not your fae, I'm sure.

Mistress of Peaches reviewed Death Becomes Her by Michael Anderle
Mistress of Peaches reviewed Foreigner by C. J. Cherryh (Foreigner (1))
Extreme third person
4 stars
Pretty amazing world building but... Yes there is always a gotcha... The author says she writes in "extreme 3rd person". What this means is it is one continuous stream of the main character's inner thoughts. No real break. It is different. Stream of conciousness at it's worst/finest. Yes there is dialog. Yes there is strong world building. Can it get repetative? Well do YOU ever go over stuff in YOUR brain? At any rate a good book and a better series (22 books to date I believe).
Mistress of Peaches reviewed The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz
confused
3 stars
Content warning Strong Opinion
I have to admit, I like Newitz but this novel confused me all to heck and gone. I'm sure there was some overarching message. It eluded me. I can't recommend it to anyone.
