I won't call the book feminist; misandro-fascist is more like it.

I used to find Cherryh boring, but she has grown on me over the years. And improved as a writer, I think.


The Tepper that turned me off her was "The Gate to Women's Country," which was also the first Tepper I read. It didn't read to me as the feminist book everyone was praising it to me as, it read as biological essentialism, which we get more than enough of from conservatives and sexists, we don't need more of it from people who regard themselves as feminists.

I used to have a lot of Cherryh but unloaded them all at one point when I realized that she was writing more-or-less the same story of political intrigue over and over again, and that I wasn't really enjoying the political intrigue parts of her books. Maybe I should check out her recent work and see if any of it sounds interesting.
