A WASP out of synch with the hive. Autodidacyic polymath. Enemy of the state since birth, and i'm tired of it.

It was too sexually unapologetic for its time. Basically GoT, but faux fantasy and seen through the eyes of a lusty lass sold into sex slavery. It covers all the taboos of the time, falls prey to the Black-Warrior-Woman trope, is incredibly labyrinthine in its politics, and I would put it head and shoulders above Martin. And I like Martin.
I can't praise this enough. Not for kids, unless they're me. I read it at age 13. Zombies? Check, but they're spread sexually (AIDS). PTSD? Check. Vietnam vets. Abortion? Check. A main character needs one. Religious right? Double-check. Satanists? Sorta. Demonslaves, at least.
And the book fucking well rocks the house in. All about freedom. I love pre-stonewall gays. They're hard like me, having been raised atheist in a nondenominational theocracy.
