"Not as frothy as “Pride and Prejudice,” but for me, richer and more nourishing. The prose shimmers with irony and wisdom."

"Uncle Tom’s Cabin may be, today, the most misunderstood, misread American novel. I hope its vitality, generosity, and human warmth will carry it on past this period of prejudice and eclipse."

Interesting concept and brilliantly reimagined worlds (0 more)
Characters are stiff and the plot is a long winded variation of Pride and Prejudice. (0 more)
Don't get me wrong, I love magic and Pride and Prejudice and the ability to commiserate with a fictional English grad student on the development of a thesis, but I was mostly underwhelmed by this novel. I wanted it to be so much better than it was. Still decent, but it had the ability to be amazing.

A fascinating array of characters troop through this epic story of love, betrayal and prejudice and poor judgement. (0 more)
It is slightly longer than need be, sometimes winding off on a less entertaining tangent. (0 more)

It was good to read a female's version, especially one of an Apache Pilot. You have to admire her strength and determination to not let prejudice prevent her from achieving her goals in life!
