review 1: It's an odd story. Not McGuire's normal type of story. No fantasy, no zombies, no horror. Involves a woman riding along on a massively huge animal whose species died out long long ago, but got revived. She's part of a traveling circus on an earth of the future in which an attempt has been made to let nature reclaim the planet a little bit. The head guy, who the lead character had rejected, decides to sell that massive large animal. She doesn't like that. She stops that from happening. The end. Heh, not really, but something like that. I gave it 3 out of 5 stars.
review 2: This was a really interesting story. It takes place in a utopian future where humans have (mostly) learned to co-exist with the environment, but human nature still prevails and causes issues ... moreeven within this "self sustaining" system. The main character was interesting- a misfit who has bonded with a once-extinct creature that was brought back to the world through bioengineering. The world building was well done, and the story was thought provoking. I would definitely recommend this story to speculative fiction fans who are looking for a unique reaction to the recent profusion of dystopian novels. less
