I think I liked this one least of the series. The next generation of women on this planet had evolved/mutated into something bizarre. Oh, and Gaia comes into things, which is both cliched and yet.. there was an interesting take on it once you got to the end.But it also read like porn in places. They communicate by sex? Really? That was necessary? And it's not even consensual at first, not really, so that was troublesome. It might be harsh to call it gangrape, but when you try to explain why it's _not_, well.. that's really difficult to do. And just because they're all women (or evolved, mutated women) does not make it any better.So I'm inclined to tell people to read the first book in this series and skip the others. ( )

This is truly a piece a work. Really. This book is chock full of allusions to lesbian sex. I mean, come on. They live in “Amazonia.” The walk around naked. They drink juice from giant flowers after walking up on top of a fluid mound. Oh, and they’re polyamorous. The theme of the story is the Gaia theory, the whole mother-earth planet thing. There just isn’t much substance to hold onto here. Not literary, not quite erotica. At least not the kind that works, although there are a few sex scenes. Not much of an emotional connection to the characters. It almost seems like it’s making fun of itself. ( )
