This is like a feminist version of Left Hand of Darkness, with a sprinkling of Dune. It was a bit slow at times, but very enjoyable. It was like all of my favorite genres mashed together. Griffith did a wonderful job of imagining a world without men on an alien planet, and I can't wait to read more by her.
