A review by kayteeem
Marked in Flesh by Anne Bishop
A light, fast read. I'm enjoying the plot, and seeing more about how the world fits together.
There are some bits that continue to irk me (but which I'm glad to overlook, as I'm enjoying the story): the level of technology achieved compared with the indicated size of the human population just doesn't work for me; and the way Simon keeps bringing up the incomprehensibility of the "female pack" seems more like the reaction of a middle school boy than an adult. I just can't read it as a "dealing with another race of intelligent creatures who behave in strange ways", because he never, never has any such issues with male humans.
