kaolin

I didn't quite get into this as much as I did Little Brother--it was definitely a fun romp, and I can't criticize that. All the same, everything seemed felt a little too easy, and the ending a bit too pat without me really feeling the lynchpin character had enough depth to do what he/she {trying to be spoiler free, here) did (even though I _was_ wondering if it was her/him from around the middle of chapter 2). For that matter, the portrayal of the takeover of "our" society by the Bitchun society, itself, felt too easy.

Still, whuffie is great, it's an inventive world, and I _did_ read it straight through. 4/5, and easily recommended to folks interested in any of its tangents.

I'd love to know what you think. This was an earlier piece of mine, and rough, but "sex" sure seems to be popular regardless. :)
