...but the hack writing got to me in the end. One-dimensional characters; cliché-ridden narratives and a plot that flails out of control. I like my erotica as much as the next woman, but I like it well-written. Pat Califia does it so much better.

I keep these books in my library; any must have for repeated reading over the years. I can't get enough of these characters. If you enjoy hot sex, fantasy, and butch/femme counter play, entwined with an out of this world fantasy story of Goddesses, and BDSM you're in for a treat! Finding a place in your heart and in your loins for each of these characters is an instant easy feat! (the book is not PC, so if your looking for multi-cultural PC writing, you will be disappointed. If you can take the story for what it is, then you'll love it)

This was a good and fast read. The real-time drama with its lovely sleazy sex scenes balanced with the other-wordly good vs. evil goddess dimension kept me tied in till the end -- erotica with a fantasy aftertaste? Good combination. Yes, the characters were a bit cliche, but some of us like cliche because those types of butches and femmes don't seem to exist anymore! And I don't expect all erotica to be superbly written, as I don't expect all porn to be well-acted. The most major issue I took with this book was that I found it irresponsible of the author to make the only black woman a submissive and to be treated, without her consent, the way she was. This book definitely got me riled up, on more than one level -- so much so that I'm hoping the find the second and third books of the trilogy.
