Title: Not their best work
Review: I have loved Emma Bull's earlier works and also enjoyed Brust's works as well, but I have to agree with the other reviewers that this one was just too hard to get through. I did read it cover to cover, but it was hard going and I was constantly annoyed by how false the characters rang. I suspect they wrote this book switching genders, with Bull writing the man and Brust writing the woman. They do not ring true and the sex scene was simply embarrassing on all accounts and definitely sounded like it was written by a man. Sad and unfortunate, and I found the ending contrived and trite. I won't spoil it for people who wish to read this anyway, but suffice to say that this was the first novel I've read from either writer that came across as hackneyed and cliche. They have many other works worth reading and rereading: I would skip this experiment, personally.
