I really loved this book until the very end.

I'm a woman who works in a male-dominated profession, so I was very invested in Hanani's struggle to be a Sharer. For this reason, I took it personally when she earned her ruby full Sharer collar, then promptly turned around and sold it to live with the Banbarra. But this is... my personal baggage. Four and a half stars.

Anyway. Up until the very end, I really, really love the book. I'm going to give a shout-out to the Reverse Omelas in particular, which was a brave and challenging twist.
