hyenas's review
2.0
I dropped two stars on a reread. What was I thinking to give it four?! This is a decent book, but suffers greatly from...
Absolutely perfect characters. There's one interesting moral dilemma, but it's not a main character and never requires any action on her part.
Zero minorities.
Weird representation of women. They're either paragons of wifely virtue, or irritants.
And the main problem is that money/power is used to make the problems go away. And there's a lot of money, so it never actually feels like there could be any consequences. I struggled to finish the reread.
