Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre
5.0
My second reading, this time as an audiobook. Strangely, I had little to no recollection of the plot after the first chapter, the original short story, and that only the main event. So it was like reading it for the first time again.
I love the intimate nature of the book and the glimpses of a post-apocalyptic world influenced by off-worlders and some high-tech. It was an interesting approach. The main plot, which was not always clear (lose a Dreamsnake, work to get a new one and figure out how to get more), took the Healer, Snake, on horseback from small, isolated community to small, isolated community. The way each community had developed was interesting and we are shown her (and others’) growth among strangers in a very compelling way.
I really enjoyed revisiting this book and have no doubt in another 15 years I’ll be able to experience it anew again!
