Title: Medicine and Magic - A suffragist's cup of tea
Review: I was a bit surprised by the negitive comments on Lackey's latest. Maya's character - a female physician treating London's "ladies of the evening" to make ends meet and still minister to the poor - is quite new. I thought the crew of animals was a bit overboard but I enjoyed all the other characters. I felt the bias and conflict within both the London magical and medical establishments was well portrayed and accurate - for a fantasy. The Sayers reference and the incidents of the deaths of suffragists due to forcefeeding strengthened the book. Development of the romance was a bit weak but otherwise a good effort. I would be interested in a sequel.
