No question, but I must tell you that it's hard for me to give 5-star ratings to novels, because I was spoiled by authors like Sherri Tepper and Lois McMaster Bujold, whose worlds came alive in my hands and made each successive novel give me the desire to reach out and grasp the occupants and cry out with joy, "How ARE you!? Oh, what a JOY to see you again! What have you up to lately?" Yours are 5 stars! THANK YOU
