Strange Worlds pick for July 2014.

Before the discussion, I probably would have rated this around 2 or 3. But I didn't *hate* it. It just had a lot of problems. And the discussion reminded me of the things I did like about it. The author has a knack for sensuous imagery, and I applaud her commitment to showing characters that reflect her world. So it might be interesting to read something else from her after she's grown as a writer.

I plan to release this at the next Brunch with Books.
