A review by juliemawesome
Daughters of an Emerald Dusk by Katherine V. Forrest
2.0
I think I liked this one least of the series. The next generation of women on this planet had evolved/mutated into something bizarre. Oh, and Gaia comes into things, which is both cliched and yet.. there was an interesting take on it once you got to the end.
But it also read like porn in places. They communicate by sex? Really? That was necessary? And it's not even consensual at first, not really, so that was troublesome. It might be harsh to call it gangrape, but when you try to explain why it's _not_, well.. that's really difficult to do. And just because they're all women (or evolved, mutated women) does not make it any better.
So I'm inclined to tell people to read the first book in this series and skip the others.
