The opening is a unique and intriguing way to frame the story. It pulls readers in to see what will happen. One of the problems with stories that involve other worlds is that the narrative is often slowed to describe creatures, situations, and history. A bit of that happens here. The plot is interesting and unique. Even though Telmx is nonhuman, we like her for her tender care of J and for the dilemma she finds herself in. She is kind and inquisitive, which makes her the type of character we want to follow
Cast with a feminist perspective, with rollicking lesbian sex scenes and multilateral committed relationships, Rose’ novel is nevertheless a classic drama of good racing to outwit evil. It is a tale that pauses on the last page, but, true to our compromised souls, does not end. Rose draws on her years of psychotherapeutic practice to create complex and engaging main characters, along with sound astronomy and speculative physics. Jane Curzon, author and arts critic
