Loaned by Jorm. I have mixed feelings about it. It's clearly a product of its time, which I can't fault it for. The world was fascinating. Quite a bit of thought about the repercussions of Jaunting — the sort of thought that separates Science Fiction from Space Fantasy, in my view. The over-plot was really neat. Enough hints were dropped early on to let you figure it out ahead of time, but not so many that it wasn't a surprise to see just how it falls out.

I didn't like the characterization much, though. There were too many places where a character underwent a transformation that changed their essence in a way that didn't seem to jibe with what had gone before. For example: Jizbella, a strong female character who doesn't take shit from any man finds in another of the characters a man who justifies the "double standard".
