rated 7/10: well worth reading

As I start reading I expect this book to be totally weird. Very mystic. Possibly even wacko. After all, the author has written a book on astrology and I get the impression that the heroine could have escaped from a Wicca commune while smoking happygrass.

I'm wrong! Sure, mad science is destroying the world. Witches have magic powers. Free love will conquer all. But it is not as silly as it could be. Hardly silly at all :-)

This is enjoyable fantasy. There is heavy duty science -- about as realistic as the fantasy. The magic is "I think I can so I can". The story -- is good fun.

It's a complex story, well constructed. Some of the logic is flimsy, doesn't matter. The characters are likable, ridiculously capable, not very deep.

I think it's chicklit but enjoyable by anyone. What non-chick would object to a heroine who can see the difference between sex and commitment?

Lots of action, lots of adventure. A good reason for the action, whether you believe it or not. A solid conclusion -- with room for more stories.

Well worth reading.
