Good when it’s good, but inconsistent. Especially w/r/t the dialogue. Solid overall, though.

(Fun to see all the Esperanto, btw. Haven’t studied it in decades, but I understood almost all of it.)

Telly-headed robots copulating doggy style. Torsoless women running brothels. Babysitting ghosts singing lullabies. Magic spells. A romance between two star-crossed lovers -- an insect-winged heroine and a ram-horned hero as they walk through parenthood with their newborn, battling against each race's bounty hunters in the quest for survival.

What's not to love? Quite accurately described as 'Star Wars meets Game Of Thrones'. Prepare to get hooked! I don't think I'm putting this one down until I've exhausted it.

I'm sorry to say I'm not sold.

It did however spark a re-reading of Kate Worley and Reed Wallers' "Omaha the Cat Dancer".

Why? Strong female characters, boldly addresses social issues, and does so in far fewer pages.
The anthropomorphic characters made it entertaining, but not absolutely necessary.

If you like Saga, you might want to try Omaha... it lacks the alien, space drama, but nonetheless.
