Sue | 56 comments Ah....Now I see what you are doing!


Cecily | 23 comments I love this book, but I often think it's a shame that the title suggests it's mainly about women and so, perhaps, mainly for women. Certainly, women are central figures, but the book should have much wider appeal.

Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments If I can deal with such manly men titles as The Lord of the Rings and Native Son and the like, males have no excuse.

Psst, Aubrey. The final one has Zanna's name but links to my review.

Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments Ahh. Apologies for that, Cecily. I'll leave your comment up to remind myself to double check.
