Title: Ho-Hum.........
Review: I was looking forward to reading this book based on the plot and the author's reputation, but after reading it I just don't think it was worth it. The character of "Anellia" was interesting but tiring. How does someone so intelligent fall in love with a man that is mentally abusive and even physically abusive towards the end? I know she had a bad childhood.....oh I guess that's it....she's emotionally damaged so of course she wouldn't fall in love with a "normal" guy. Vernor, her "lover" (but there was NO LOVE!) was drawn as a character with a pseudo-intelligence that's masqueraded as a philosophical genius of some sort but as geniuses go, he is a social misfit. Yeah, very compelling (hear my sarcasm?) He was boring and couldn't say much other than endlessly quote philosophers. The sex scenes were without feeling and totally demeaning.The book was short but really, if it went on any longer I would've quit.
