adrienner's review against another edition
This has been on my physical TBR for about 5 years and on my wishlist before that for a while. I should have read it when I initially wanted to because it does not hold up 25+ years later.

This was honestly such a lousy and somewhat racist read. You can convey contempt without resorting to calling people known racist terms. That being said this was written in the early to mid 90's. The standards of writing were far below where we are now.
The pacing and plot were unusual and smooth for what they were. To be clear there is no sequined love nun in this book. There is however a megalomaniacal, borderline rapist,fully racist false idol.
