So awesome it makes me want to go back and give only 4 stars to Fire Logic just because this one is that much better.

Yes!! This was so good! I love when sf/fantasy truly breaks the mold and this book does it. I've never ever before read a fantasy novel in which the author posits a world with NO gender issues at all. None! Every character's job or main role in life is based on their personality and motivations, not their gender. It's not just a flip-flop either. There are army commanders of both genders, farmers of both genders, raising-kids-focused people of both genders, family structures of all kinds, queer and straight relationships are given equal importance, etc. There's plenty of conflict and oppression between cultures, but none on gender lines - the cultures just don't see it as an issue. The structure of magic power is also done completely differently than anything else I've seen. And she's a great writer and the characters come across excellently. So glad this is a series so I don't have to be done after this. AWESOME.

to: Have You Found Her: A Memoir (Paperback)byJanice Erlbaum bookshelves: memoir
This was a well-paced and entertaining memoir, but I found the author annoyingly self-centered (even though the whole book was about how selfless she was towards this fucked up girl).

to: Your Call Is (Not That) Important To Us: Customer Service and What It Reveals About Our World and Our LivesbyEmily Yellin bookshelves: non-fiction
This is about an entirely different type of customer service than the kind I do at work. I'm so glad my job isn't like that.

The weakest part was the plagiarism accusations. I'm just not sold on that. The rest was an eye-opening look at the theater scene and how it handled (i.e. mishandled) gay issues and AIDS around the time of Rent.
