review 1: Really expected more from this book. it was a fabulous premise and storyline and the world she set up was so cool but there were just no explanations. This is hundreds of years in the future, we need a little background here. That was really annoying. For instance, in this world, everyone is essentially bisexual, cool, that's really different. But that's not how it is now so I really wanted her to explain how that came to be. There were a lot of things like that. I also couldn't connect to the main characters very well. And the governmental system didn't fully make sense until the end. I wouldn't recommend it unfortunately.
review 2: June Costa is a waka. She's too young to have any power in the Brazilian pyramid city over which grande elder women rule 400 year... mores after men have nuked most of the planet. June Costa has a keen desire to make great art. Palmares Tres is a city and the cradle of its inhabitants, as glorious and flawed as any mother. On the pages of this novel, her children dance. It was hard to picture the city, and I'm going to call that user error - but my inability to visualize the vats, and the Bay and the glass floors with pipes maintained by giant spiderbots created the enhanced aura of the scenery, replicated by the lights skin-modified on June's torso; bright or muted as emotions heat or calm. Johnson writes a samba beat to the relationships that steam the glass of the city - Enki and Gil, June and Bebel (a deft reading of school chums and rivalry), the Queen and the Summer King, tech and no tech, June and her city of lights. I'll read the Spellbinder series next. less
