Title: Racial prejudices of a different color
Review: The indigo (blue skinned matriarchal land owners) and the gulden (gold skinned minority patriarchal merchant class) have lived in peaceful coexistence (sort of). Both sides sniping at each other but when does sniping go too far? When terrorism and biological warfare rear their ugly heads.Hearts of Gold has an intricate complicated plot but strong characters and while blue and gold skins may be difficult to envision their motivations are not.I thought it was a very good book written with Miss Shinn's usually thoughtful characterisations but it didn't really touch me as much as her other books, her Archangel and 12 Houses series which I love.So I would say this book is mostly for Shinn fans who enjoy her writing style and would like most anything she writes.
