Title: Micah waste of time; Waiting on Danse Macabre
Product review: I agree with the previous reviews that thought "Micah" was a waste of trees. Hamilton is a fantastic, creative writer- I even like the straight sex and her attitude toward queer folk is thoughtful, if parochial, and in character for Anita.In Micah, like some of Hamilton's short stories, the plot is an excuse to dive into sex and character-relationship development. The strength of her earlier work is the integration where the sexuality of her characters works with the plot. As noted in another review, the last Merry Gentry volume also fell down this weak path.Micah reads much more like a bodice-ripper, romance novel (of the trivial kind) and even the typesetting and layout has gone that route. I don't blame Hamilton for marketing what will become her retirement account- this is publishing after all.But borrow it from your public library if you must; it's not worth the cover price.
