Excellent feminist through-the-mirror-darkly viewpoint.

I am a big fan of Sharon Green's work, and found this series one of her best. Often, my non-feminist friends can't start the series with Book 1 because it deals with a "savage" life from a so-called "male" perspective -- take what you want, fight to keep it, get rid of it when it's no longer convenient/useful. While the sex is great, there is more to Ms. Green's writing than erotica. Nowhere else have I seen a true "education" of thoughts and ideas within a character primarily categorized as a "Xena"-wannabe or a "Gor"-knockoff. Ms. Green deals with profound issues involving comfort vs. fighting for ideals, as well as moralist issues such as being willing to sacrifice oneself for a noble cause. This book is a real "kepper", and as soon as I can get a clean copy, I will be replacing it in my library.
