Yesterday‘s outdoor reading session, with Casey assisting. I tore through the first half of DREAMS MADE FLESH and still loved Lucivar and Marian‘s story very much, with all the usual caveats. The big one: I forgot Karla‘s canonically queer, and I‘m disgusted that Bishop‘s worldbuilding still forces her to bed a man to preserve her jewelled power. Gender essentialist magic is crap. Let her ditch her virginity with a nice lady instead.
