Torrid Tarot
Imperfect Judgment
Imperfect Judgment Cricket Starr Diam isn't happy with his nomadic life on Gallia and wishes for a better life. When a new colony ship arrives from Earth he is intrigued by what the Newcomers have to offer. But when his sister becomes ill, Diam learns why his people became nomads in the first place. A tarot reading by the village witch sends him to find a way to force the Newcomers to leave Gallia before anyone else gets sick. Diam doesn't count on falling in love with Justina, the colony's doctor. The passion they stir in each other reaches beyond the barriers of language and background to bring them together but even with their new love they can't ignore their peoples' fate. The judgment card in Diam's tarot reading promised success but it is Diam and Justina's judgment and skill that will be needed if all Gallians, new and old, are to have the lives they deserve.

During the weekday Janet Miller, sometimes better known as Cricket Starr, is a mild-mannered software engineer who writes code and design documents. But at night and on weekends she turns to the creation of offbeat stories about imaginary pasts, presents, and futures, where ladies become warriors, or go to the stars to find love, and a man really can save a struggling software company.
But no matter when the story happens, or where the hero or heroine is, there will always be adventure, humor, and meaning to the tale.
Her writing has won her multiple awards, recommended reads, stars, unicorns, and hearts and even a couple of trophies that look really good on her bookshelf next to her printed books.

2.5* Grade C
The plot concept was good, the execution was just okay. The short length might be to blame for some of that. There wasn't enough character development and too much of the plot depends on a backstory that wasn't clear. In other words, short cuts were taken because there wasn't time for developing the story more naturally.
