Stone Mad

Edit added 6/26/2020: Recently it???s come to light that Elizabeth Bear is a serial emotional abuser and manipulator. I did not know that at the time I wrote this since I don???t move in the same spaces as her victims, but I???m leaving this note here now to say that, despite my high praise of this novel, I absolutely do not condone her behavior at any point in time, whether I was aware of it or not. Any of her books that I now have will not be reviewed on this blog. Review of any of her future work will depend upon whether she has demonstrated any actual, genuine change in her behavior going forward.

Review is based on an ARC given to me for free by the publisher. This is due for release on March 20, 2018.

Karen and Priya are BACK, and though they aren't dealing with Very Big And Dangerous Trouble this go-round (leastways when compared to what happened the last time in Karen Memory - go read it and find out, it's awesome!), they're still in trouble and make no mistake. But while this story isn't as big and bombastic in terms of plot, it's still ridiculously fun and full of heart, which is what really matters to me, truth be told. And it's also got something very important to say about relationships - but you can read it and find out on your own ;D.
