For the quality of the world building, the writing, and the unique voice of this tale in a genre where original plots are few, I would normally give this book at least four stars. Engrossed in the story, it was not until I finished it that the import of the author's plot design emerged. The author ties these women's healing ability to sexual intimacy, thankfully not depicted. To serve, these healer women and those seeking healing must allow their bodies to be used. Really? In an era where we both savor human rights and are deeply distressed by human trafficking, do we need fiction that suggests there is honour in allowing one's body to be used? I think not. I am deleting this book from my kindle library.While I do not recommend this book, the author's other works may be worth considering.
