beccaelizabethThis story is a novella in the latest issue of Asimov's Science Fiction
and it is good.
Like, I am happy to have bought the issue, because it has this in it, good.
Lots of female characters, protag included, in a complex new world-city, populated by multiple species, with interlocking and clashing needs and logics that all make plausible sense. It's a mystery, solved by going places and asking, with only minimal staggering around because the answer went boom, and maximum solving problems with brains and compassion.
A+ story, would read more like this, which is good necause the intro says more are going to happen. The 'verse certainly has the scope to support it.
