There was a time I would have given this story five stars. I don’t anymore because I frequently want to hit Mackenzie and Amaranth, along with a few of the other characters, with a clue by four. Also the sex gets tiresome because there’s so MUCH of it.

I could argue that Mack has come a very long way in the couple of weeks that she’s been at MU, but the directions in which she’s expanding don’t seem very realistic to me. Sex is often one the hardest things to get over your stumbling blocks about, (anyone heard of ‘recovering catholics’?) and yet Mackenzie seems to do so almost effortlessly, but at the same time she has an extremely difficult time accepting religions that are not her own.

And what’s up with having so many people openly sexually interested in you? I gather she’s cute but not THAT special to look at and for a while she really didn’t take care of her appearance AT ALL, and apparently she smells. What she smells of we don’t know.

Anyway, the writing is amazing and I keep coming back despite my dislikes. If TOMU isn’t your cup of tea, I would recommend 3 seas or tribe or any of the many other tales AE tells.
