Rated The Torment of Others 7/10

<div>All right, I know I've read a lot of her books lately, so maybe that magnifies some of my quibbles due to repeated exposure, but this was only ok. Propulsive enough to invest me in the story, but 2004-era social politics chafe a bit, reading it 20 years later. I suppose it's less SWERF-y than it could be, given the time, but it's definitely not <em>not</em> that either. This was better than the previous 2 I read from her (different series, each), but it's not among her really good ones. I think Val and I need a little break so I can forget some of her less favorable quirks.</div>
