The Admonishments of Kherishdar
Reviews
Geoffrey Dow:
"...In
short, I want to know more about her creation, because whether or not I
would ultimately deem her society "good" or "bad", it is definitely
different . and so well-worth the time of any SF reader interested in
something other than adolescent wish-fulfilment fantasies, or indeed, of
any reader interested in thinking about how our world works (and doesn't)
and how we might learn to do things differently."
Hypatia's Hoard, Elizabeth Barrette:
"...While
their ways of dealing with wrongdoers are largely different from our own,
and Ai-Naidari have some significant mental and physical differences from
humans, still there is much food for thought here in comparing these ideas
to human justice systems."
e-Fiction Book Club, Merrilee Faber:
"...The true beauty of this collection is the way that the culture is painted in the background as you read. It.s like sitting in a white room, reading, while behind you brush strokes of colour appear on the blank walls, then you look up and suddenly you.re on an alien world, the journey so subtle that you barely felt the movement."
