Silence in Solitude by Melissa Scott
3.0
This starts real, real slow. I was frustrated with all the summarization, and also with a sort of short-handing of the character moments, that felt more like telling me "they love each other" than showing it.
It picks up once our heroine is inside a harem, which I think is what the author was more interested in telling, and she at least has the "not like all the other girls!" heroine acknowledge that maybe she should have more female friends.
The ending was better than the beginning. I was 100% convinced I'd not look for the third book for 3/4 of this but after the ending, well, if it fell in my path I'd pick it up.
