Customer Reviews

Another incredible book in the Isis series. Highly recommended!

I have read all the Isis books several times and was very excited to learn about this new continuation of the series. Once again, Jean Stewart has created a book that kept me on the edge of my seat to the last page and begging to find out what happens next!

Worth the Wait!

It's not that Jean Stewart took a long time to produce this latest (and hopefully not final) book in her wonderful Isis series, but that I took so long to read it! There is not enough lesbian-centric sci-fi and fantasy out there, so I tend to dole them out to myself as rewards for significant achievements. I finally lost those last 5 pounds and a calorie-free book was my reward! It was worth waiting for! The best part is that two very competent reviewers have already said virtually every thing I would point out about this book. That saves me a lot of time. These days it seems unfashionable to admit to being a feminist or to write tales that reflect our ever-present struggle to wrest some control over our own destinies. There's toxins from rocket fuel in *all* breast milk, right now, in the world we live in. Every woman on the planet ought to be outraged, and the defense contractors who have poisoned major water supplies so that not even a newborn can get something pure ought to be paying to clean up our rivers! But who cares about women and babies when there's profit to be made? That's what I welcome the Isis series for, a good old-fashioned tale of women bonding together to save their way of life versus the presumptuous, uncaring, mindless ways of people who live for today and refuse to care about tomorrow. In the Isis books the women are winning. In our world today, I'm not nearly so heartened. But perhaps others feel as I do because I'm thrilled that this book has been nominated for a prestigious Lammy. Thank you, Miz Stewart, for another great entry in this series.
