Most stories are plodding and overly long, far from her best. Two very long stories have irritating/ cutesy characters.

Far better to consider reading a quality collection of her stories: Her Smoke Rose Up Forever: https://bookshop.org/p/books/her-smoke-rose-up-forever-second-edition-second-james-tiptree/15718465?ean=9781892391209
