thatsmrsnyder 's review for:

Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson
2.0
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: N/A
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

A decent story hampered by two glaring issues: first, it's far too long for the story that's told.  It's a short story masquerading as a novel.

The second issue is, and I cannot stress this enough, the author is just catastrophically horny in a really off-putting way.  If I ever have to read the word "spurt" one more time I'm going to lose my goddamned mind.
