Lesbian Science Fiction: Another Review
Aug. 24th, 2014 01:08 pmI read Speaking Dreams by Severna Park. I would give it 5 stars.
It is a tougher space opera, about two young womyn who cannot accept slavery in a society which still accepts slavery, and about their romance as well as their survival. One comes from an isolated farming and herding community ruled by the slavers. She also has prescient dreams. Another comes from a spacefaring community at odds with the slavers but which also practices slavery. After they come together, they depend on each other to heal, and to survive amid the conflict. It is rather violent, too, and scary, and challenging, but that is inherent in the subject.
