I massively enjoyed this one. Only thing I didn't like was ARNOLD who essentially seemed to come in and dump patriarchy all over a more interesting society. I also wish the Godwhale herself had had more of a complex vocal role but still a ton of fun reading it.

I really liked this book. It is dated, and the editing is horrible, but the way the story is told is reminiscent of the era when Science-fiction could take flights of Fantasy.
This book was published shortly before the advent of biotechnology. It is truly a fantastical piece; suspend your imagination completely if you want to enjoy it.

Incredibly good book. Such a great level of weird and mad content that kept me reading purely based on a need to see what on earth was going to come up next. Couldn't put this book down, definitely worth a read.
